9pm flight on 15th to arrive at 5am on 17th and it was only a 13hr flight - we crossed the international date line where even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. More security checks at LA International and then went through customs to find that there was nothing open. Uneventful flight, Quantas 747 had the full service in terms of meals and digital entertainment. Watched Zodiac while the boys watched Harry Potter (again). They slept for 9hrs whilst their 6ft something Dad struggled with various high level Yoga positions to try and find a comfortable spot on the seat.
Entering NZ was interesting. Bio-security was at its' highest as the small nation attempts to protect its agri-business. At least 3 checks on "fruit and farms" and then past various sniffer dogs. Those dogs can sniff the remains of fruit in a bag which was taken out 3wks ago!. Good thing about this airport (its the detail that counts!) is the seperate line for families with infants which fast-tracks you through. Nice.
Weather so far in Auckland is rainy and cold.
