For the 2nd time in my life I again missed a day.
Westward travel means that at some stage you need to give back time accrued. And this is done by crossing the international date line, which I did circa 20 years ago and have just done again and was woken for the pleasure of that I presume cos it was not for the breakfast on board. This was about 07:00 San Francisco time so the good news is that I must have had at least 5 to 6 hrs sleep. Not the best sleep but the bed was flat and so now with some shut eye under my belt there should be no unintentional travels into the kiwian scenery. Still 3am NZ time is still 3am so early doors and so will have a loooong day ahead of me today. Randal has confirmed all is good and will be picking me up from the Airport around 6am.
I also think that there is a comedy show developing on the NZ 007 flight from SF to Auk. Travel a little with Air New Zealand and you will see what I mean. Like a very polite yet slightly not sure Aussie, the antedate to an Aussie red neck if you know what I mean. Example is the steward who has a gruff mannerism saying - yer gonna have this drink whether you like it or not, whats that you don't want it? Oh OK then Sir! Or the stewardess's... Give them anything that is 'not normal' and there is a slight fluster, almost as if things like that never happen with a 'er… yes, er not sure, er let me check, er what was it again Sir?' I'll see if the power adapter turns up later this AM. God knows what fun and games are happening in cattle class..
More to add to the blog later, hopefully I'll find wireless out there!
p.s. The power adapter never arrived Baby.
