A Roam of My Own Part Deux: From the Land of Down Under

Dear Everyone,

This morning at 11:00 AM we flew from Atlanta, Georgia (courtesy of Delta Airlines) nonstop to Honolulu, Hawaii on the first leg of our trip to New Zealand and Australia.  First, four nights in Honolulu and then on to Auckland, New Zealand for a few days before we board our two week Viking Cruise that will take us around New Zealand, on to Tasmania and then finally land us in Sydney,  Australia.  I have done a blog only one other time and the whys and wherefores are not coming to mind.  I think I might be tagging it on to my last blog, but am not sure how to create a new one.  If so, please disregard the last blog and please bear with me as I relearn the art of blogging.

So, today’s happenings in no particular order:

1.  I read an entire book on the 10 hour flight and my eyes feel like sandpaper.

2.  Doug thought he had left our passports and cruise information at home during the entire 10 hour flight because they were not in his carry on (Not so.  He left them in his checked bag and they were still there!). And so he fretted for 10 hours.

3.  When we checked in to our hotel on the beach, we found they were filming an episode of American Idol at the Disney Resort next door. It’s loud, but entertaining.  See below (and above because I have no idea how to put a picture at just the end):
