That\u2019s M\u0101ori for Goodbye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drove to the airport and the weather seemed fine. Not too windy, but it was raining. We checked in and Air NZ put us on an earlier flight to Auckland just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight from Wellington was great. No issues. The views were beautiful as we flew up the coast and over Raglan into Auckland getting our last sights of this magical place. It\u2019s sunny here in Auckland today. No wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our layover is longer now. Thankfully, we have lounge access, so we are waiting to board our flight home to Denver via LA. It\u2019s in 6 hours. \ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re back to where we started four months ago when we landed at this airport to begin our journey. And what an incredible adventure it\u2019s been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t believe it has gone by so fast, but we are ready to be home. If only we can click our heels and not have to endure our next flights to LA and Denver. I\u2019ve downloaded a bunch of movies and season 3 of Bridgerton just released, so I\u2019m excited for the binge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s going to feel strange not to be writing about my day anymore. Walking the dog, doing laundry, food shopping, reading, cooking and baking doesn\u2019t have quite the same allure as climbing mountains, kayaking in glacial lakes and spotting kiwis in the wild. Who wants to read about a middle aged former baker trying to figure out her next move? Exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who have read the blog every day and for those who have popped in and out of the Blogary<\/a>, thank you for coming on this journey with us. We\u2019ve enjoyed sharing our travels with all of you and hope to tell of our adventures in person soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll let you know when we\u2019re home safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bon voyage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
