New Zealand is getting closer!

Did some calculations using Google Earth last night and it looks like our total travel distance including the flight to Auckland, the cruise to Hawaii and the flight home will be around 14, 500 miles. We'll be averaging about 40 mph for the whole trip. Yikes!

If you have a mental image of people water skiing behing a really fast cruise ship, understand that the legs of the trip travelled by air bump up the average considerably. Knowing what goes into an average can sure change your view of it. Probably a good thing to keep in mind when reading a newspaper, eh?

Not much to do but wait.

And look at the clock.

And wait.

Check the clock again.

*sigh*
