Harrisburg to Cincinnati to LA to Auckland, NZ
The travel gods were smiling on us. We had an uneventful flight on each of the legs of
this trip. Arrived in LA to find our bags arrived as well. Security at LA was not too bad.
Mike had his carryon rescreened and they had the full body screening in operation. The
wait for our N. Z. flight was interminable. That flight was not too bad; exit row not
worth the money. Both of us slept; me from exhaustion, Mike from his pill, so we were
OK when we arrived in Auckland. It was sunny and warm and very green.
It is always a challenge to drive in another country and and more of a challenge when one is
driving on the other(rather than wrong) side of the road. Made it to the motel in one
piece. Everyone from the customs agents to the car rental folks reminded us of the
difference in driving and crossing the road on foot.
We are near Parnell Road, which is lined with shops and restaurants, sort of like
Georgetown in DC. Found a nice Italian chain restaurant for dinner. Food is very
expensive here and this was a nice medium priced place to eat. It was full of young
people out for a meal; all sorts of ethnic groups represented and all talking a mile a
minute.
