Tuesday, Mar 13th
Chris and Denny were en-route early from the hotel to catch their flight to Sydney from where they would fly home to Scottsdale.
The other six of us had breakfast, spent or cashed in our remaining New Zealand currency and then headed to the airport at 11 AM.
After check-in we passed through immigration and security; we said our parting goodbyes and proceeded to our gate areas. Pat, Jack, Diane and Greg would be flying home from Auckland and Sheila and I would be en-route to Sydney before flying home on Wednesday.
While waiting in Auckland, Sheila was interviewed by a tourist bureau surveyor. The questions and answers spanned the entirety of our visit and probably took 20 minutes or so to complete.
We arrived in Sydney and checked in to the Stamford Plaza Hotel for a restful evening and preparation for flying home.
While checking email I found a new note from Denny; as they should have been somewhere high above the Pacific headed for San Francisco, this was not likely to be good news. After waiting through several flight delays, Chris and Denny's flight to San Francisco had been cancelled; they would fly on Wednesday.
Sheila and I had an easy dinner in the hotel; she had a club sandwich and I had a salad and spaghetti bolognese. It was simple but good.
We packed our bags and were ready to travel.
