Waiting to board and looking at our plane.
Our Boeing 777
Plugged in to the entertainment system and very happy about having their own remote controls. Quinn didn't understand that you have to push one button at a time and then wait before pressing the next one. The flight crew had to reset his system 2 times until I hid his remote.
We left San Francisco on Thursday 29 May and arrived in Auckland on Saturday 31 May. The boys were amazing on the plane. I think they were all so excited that they didn't realise what was actually happening. They had their own personal entertainment systems with movies, TV shows, games and music. The best part was not so much WHAT they got to watch, but that they had total control over their OWN remote. They also slept a fair amount. Which meant that I actually got a few hours of sleep myself. Makes for a less fuzzy experience with customs, immigration, baggage claim, sniffing drug dogs. It was weird for me to arrive in New Zealand with my family who are all citizens. Made me feel a bit second-class.

glad you got there safely and that the boys were well-behaved. I haven't taken my kids on a plane yet - I'm afraid!
Hey Richard!
Glad that you got there safely and it was good to see ya at lunch after... what.. almost 8 years since our Arzoon days.
Good that we got connected again and I'll be following your adventure as you and your family settle back in NZ.
Cheers,
Thomas
