Coming Home

Hi guys,
We're on our way home. We are presently in the airport in Fiji waiting for our flight to L.A. This is the 2nd leg of our 4 leg trip back to Seattle. We left Sydney Tues. morning for Auckland, N.Z. where we spent the night. We got back to the airport this morning at 10:30 to catch our flight to Fiji. We arrived here at 4 pm and since our next flight (the one to L.A.) isn't leaving until almost 11 pm we thought we might have some time to leave the airport and go into town. As it turned out everyone's baggage was delayed due to lightening storms (they can't unload the baggage when there's lightening apparently) so we had to wait more than 2 hrs. for our bags. By the time we retrieved them and cleared customs and then rechecked our bags it was too late to try to go anywhere. So here we sit, writing this.
Doug posted a few pics. We have thoroughly enjoyed the trip and definitely plan to come back. It's almost time for us to board the plane so we will write more after we get home. We're looking forward to being home and seeing friends and family. We've missed you all.
