We had good flights & lovely service, albeit on very booked planes, so no spare seats to be had this tim around to stretch out. From London to Dubai and after a couple of hours in transit onto Brunei we shared our row with a great Scottish Lass who was on her way to NZ for a year of working and travelling. We got on so well and had lots to talk about, questions to answer for her and her for us. We all hung out during the transit in Dubai and had coffee and checked emails in Brunei. The last leg of the journey went well too with us sitting next to a farming couple from Hamilton, recently retired and they had some great stories to tell of their time in UK also.
Arrived in Auckland, with Laura (41 weeks pregnant) and husband Mike there to meet us at the airport - a great sight at 1 o'clock in the morning! Spent the weekend catching up on their news, some sleep and shopping and having a decent mocha!
Flight booked for 3/7/2011 5pm Sunday night and as we were pretty much boarding the plane, got a text to say Laura had her first contraction! Exciting, though frustrating flight home for the both of us.........work tomorrow and perhaps baby news.......
