After a very, very long Sunday we made it back to the US (crossing the international date line gave us a 40-hour “day”). Sunday morning we flew up to Auckland and Emily acted as our “native guide”, getting us from the airport to Karma Llama and Rapson Estates. She also acted as drill instructor, keeping us on-time and moving so we made it back in time. One of the Llamas, Jim, may meet our needs for a guard/packing/leader animal. Now it is a matter of finding out if he would be sold alone, and if the price is right.

The trans-pacific flight went quite smoothly, and we both got more sleep than I expected. Having a group of 3-seats for the two of us helped. We also got to see Shrek-2, which was fun. I tried watching The Day After Tomorrow, but it was just too bad to endure.

The trans-American flights were not so smooth, with America West giving us multiple delays. We made it into Georgia by midnight, and commenced with some much needed sleep. It is now morning, and we have to plan our activities for the coming week.
