Chronic Negress

After much cogitation and drinking and eating with friends, Kathryn and I are in the Qantas Club enjoying cocktails. We have enjoyed cocktails all the way across the country on our way to New Zealand. Kathryn is my superior sister, which one hopes will not make you think of a convent. She is also dedicated to Lord of the Rings. I am dedicated to many things including my sister so off we have gone. As more happens — it’s mostly been a limo, and airport lounges so far — I’ll post.

The most important executive decision I made when planning this trip was to fly business class. Being fed and boozed within an inch of our tiny lives not to mention having leg and butt room is glorious, costly and almost makes me feel sinful. My sister slept so I think she was liking it too.

The next leg is 14 hours to Auckland. More once we take the last flight to Christchurch.
