Musings, considerations … literal appointments. A 30 hour transit FRA to AKL by way of LAX has it all. And we made it, on-time. To Auckland. To our rental car. But we are also out of our time … jet-lagged by a 12 hour shift in timezones. Removed by time, coming back after almost 10 year. On borrowed time, as this is not a “as long as we feel like needing” this time. New and interesting times, and for Number 3 and the Agent of Entropy the first time as well.

New Zealand has us back, and we are so elated to be back here, despite all the exhaution. The kids loved their first days, after getting over some of the trauma of the brutally long transit. Air New Zealand helped … sunshine helped, the beach definitely helped. And even the Peanuts helped a good bit.

Now, three months ahead of us. A lot of time … not enough? Who knows …

Nina: And also an inbetween…not quite a holiday as three out of four of us have to work for a good while. But also not only a work visit as we do get to see people and places we haven’t seen in forever. Or ever.
