It's the evening before departure and many things begin to run through the mind. Have we forgotten anything? If so, is it anything that really matters? Will our flights be on time? Will they fly to the correct destination? Will our two dogs and two cats survive (the dogs get a bit peeved when we are away). We are so thankful for Ken and Patty for graciously watching over our home, flora and fauna during our trip...definitely above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks to Kelly, Kristen and families for periodically visiting the Baily, Lucy, et al. Their visits will help the dogs through their separation anxiety.
Thanks to those in the laboratory that I have left with completing the "big project". I appreciate each of you and your efforts toward our mission. Thankyou for the parting gifts and lunch from great friends and coworkers. Marie wanted me to extend thanks to her loyal insurance agents (who will miss her a lot). And finally a great big thank you to all of Phyllis's little people. We'll see if we can get a post off from SFO with a picture of the whole entourage. You may remember that Rocco will be a part of our NZ entourage. Today, Rosey invited herself along and you will meet her in a future post. Rocco and Rosey....great! I hope their passports are in order.

So happy for you both! You're just about there!
We'll be thinking of you the next 24 hours as you are on your way. After that, it's all good!
Thinking of you as you fly through the sky into the southern hemisphere. I hope you have some chocolate to share as you fly right by Valentines Day.
...GO! Praying for you right now as you're flying over the blue Pacific on your way down under! We love you so much!
You're there!!! Woohoo! I hope it was an easy, uneventful trip and that you are smelling the wonderful NZ smells and seeing some beautiful sunshine. Can't wait to hear from you! xoxoxo Happy Valentine's Day today...er, yesterday or wherever it went for you :-)
So, let's see, it's alittle after 3 pm here on 2-14- so...if you are a day ahead and 6 hours behind, then it must be 2-15 at 9 am, right? Maybe you are having a Vegimite sandwich and a cup'o tea!
Dee and I forgot to go to lunch at 1130 but when we DID go, all we talked about was where you were and what time it was where you were. It's going to be a long long time till March 14th.
Phyllis :)
Hi everyone, Dad was mistaken...New Zealand is 21 hours ahead or the next day three hours back instead of 6. You can check my blog by clicking on my name to see the Auckland, NZ time.
