A Four Movie Flight to Middle Earth
...That's right -- 4 movies plus lots of documentaries about
New Zealand sprinkled in between. Of course, I slept
through most of them. It's a 12 hour flight coming this
direction (longer going the other way I understand). There
were looots of college kids from Greensboro, NC (not sure
what school). And there was one very entertaining ditzy old
lady. In fact,early in the evening, I kept telling myself
to remember to tell my kids not to let me travel when I get
"that way." Then I noticed that she seemed to get to the
head of every line way before I did, and had lots of men
helping her. So perhaps I should think about this a little
more.
Just arrived in Wellington. Rebecca arrived yesterday, but
I haven't yet found her. We're here for one night, and off
on our cruise tomorrow. There is Lord of the Rings
everywhere -- the planes are painted with the characters (I
wanted to fly Frodo), the airports are all decorated, and
the Wellington airport actually has some of the sets from
the movies -- the "little ones" from Rivendale.
Hope all is going well. Will check in again when I have
access to a computer. |
