We arrived at the airport and the Lamberts (Jonathan, Anthony, Gladys, Raylene, and Jonathan Sr.- the father Jonathan, Anthony, and Raylene) were already there waiting. Maria (our scatterbrained New Zealand guide) put them to work by helping us load or luggage onto the conveyor belt. There were 3 hours and a half hours before the departure of Air New Zealand 10 to Honolulu. We wandered about the airport for a while, taking photos of me together with the Lamberts and them taking photos of my family together. Gladys Lambert still sends Christmas cards to my Grandma Atkins.

The best way to travel there is to have a friend meet you at the dock and drive you there. We were so fortunate to know KIWI (Pam.) She took us around the whole day. It was wonderful.
