Monday Feb 19 - Final few hours

Well, quite a lot of hours actually. 23 hours and 59 minutes to be precise and that is if the plane leaves Tahiti on time tonight at one minute to midnight. Right now it’s in the air on it’s way here but running 25 minutes late courtesy of our constant friend, Cyclone Gita which decided to take one last swipe at us today by slamming into New Zealand where our flight originates. 

Anyway, here we are in the Air Tahiti lounge waiting in air conditioned comfort away from the hubbub of the main terminal which is decidedly hotter and noisier. 

The has decided to travel incognito at this point but I assure you she is just to the right of this picture. 

If all goes well we will land in LA at around 10:30 tomorrow with time in hand to make our ongoing connection to Vancouver around 2:30. 

Fingers crossed!
