Leaving on a Jet Plane

Our bags are packed and we're ready to go! We'll be picked up by Rich at 6.00pm. Got my nails done so I won't have to worry about them on the trip and take all that "stuff"! Nail polish bottles always seem to leak in the checked baggage. Believe it or not, that's the first time I've ever had gel nails done!

I've organised assistance through Customs both ends to make it as smooth as possible. We'll have a meal when we get through all the check-in stuff and are settled in the lounge - apparently Hawaiian uses the Air New Zealand lounge, which is very familiar territory: a nice selection of finger foods, wines, fruit and it's nice and quiet while we wait. Our house sitters have arrived and settled in and they've already taken Muffy for a long walk: she's in for doggy boot camp to lose a few of those extra grams!
