To New Zealand Via Fiji

Our flight January 11-12 took us from San Francisco to Nadi, Fiji, and then to Christchurch.
We had an enjoyable 4 hour lay-over in Nadi

At what is the nicest Priority Club lounge ever, so far


Staff completely up to the very high standard of service we have
experienced elsewhere in Fiji; friendly, first name-basis...

Boarding for Christchurch

Bula, Fiji

Passing over the south coast of the North Island, Cook Strait

Over the South Island now, Canterbury, on approach

Very Long White Cloud (Aotearoa, the Maori
name for New Zealand, means "Land of the
Long White Cloud")

Canterbury, with its gorgeous farm- and ranch-lands, and
vineyards, and mile upon mile of giant wind-breaks


We'll be flying Air New Zealand direct from Auckland to San
Francisco next April

After orientation and moving in, checking out
prices of the good stuff...

Did I mention I watched Dunkirk twice on the first leg of the
flight?
