    Apologies to all Los Angelians!

     



    We're in Los Angeles now, 9:00 am Thursday 24th July.
    Flew in last night from Heathrow via Glasgow, fourteen hours in planes and airports.
    And not allowed a ciggy!
    Departing for LAX around 1:00 pm; not enough time to contact anyone.
    From there we leave for Auckland (NZ) International, and from there to New Plymouth.
    About another twelve hours without a smoke.

    So if you locals look up and see an Air New Zealand plane flying over about 3:00 pm, give it a wave . . . it could be us!

    Hope you & Rosie kicked the Scottish bug you'd picked up, jb, and that the end of your trip was better than the middle! Safe travels.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Or maybe a JET SITTER?

    And, if I may correct your vernacular, John Boy:

    Folks from Los Angeles are called "Angelinos".

    I stand corrected!

    And jet sitter is right is right on the button too!
    Eleven hours of sitting and the bum gets numb . . . not fun!
    Can't really complain though but; the same trip took my forebears three months or more.

    (And at least I had a book to read: 'The Compleat Para Handy'. Just about finished it too!)
