Well here we are in a wet, muggy (30 degrees) Hong Kong @ 8.30 am after an 11 hour flight from Auckland. Have a couple of hours until our onward flight to Heathrow.
It was a very full flight, with many staying in Hong Kong or otherwise in China. I can see how Air New Zealand made a record profit - limited service/food. However it was a generally smooth flight and we both got some sleep, which is unusual for me. I am still feeling pretty good, and attribute that to my natural No Jet Lag pills.
Sitting in the airport, TV is showing the US armed forces presumably preparing for an attack on Syria. We certainly hope not, as both of our cruises are in the general vicinity. Fingers firmly crossed.
Going back to yesterday, we stopped at Columbus Cafe in Mitre10, Albany (which we usually do when in the area), and the security alarm went off as we entered - and again as we exited. One of the staff observed "a Kathmandu jacket". Correct, Vivian had her new weatherproof jacket on. Apparently they have a microchip embedded in them, which is supposed to be deactivated when sold - but sometimes they turn themselves on again, so although Mitre10 deactivated it again, we'll see if we have any further issues with all the security checks we'll be going through.
