I arrived at the airport in Christchurch at about 1:30 PM Saturday local and landed in Seattle this evening at 6:00 PM Saturday local. Elapsed time was 25.5 hours – end to end with all the adjustments in place. That’s a lot of sitting-in-airports-time in addition the the hours in the sky.
So, I’ve had two beers, eaten some fine bread. olive oil and diced garlic (thanks to my fine wife) and watched a movie called Resurrection from 1980, petted a dog and six cats and now I’m getting ready to shut down for the day and take a real snooze. Tomorrow, when I awake, I will ‘really’ be here. It’ll be winter, which may take some getting used to.
