This trip had been a long time in planning but nevertheless the last few weeks did seem to creep up on us. With multiple dentist appointments, last minute meetings with friends, and packing/cleaning the flat, the time evaporated rapidly. We were lucky to have 2 parties which were well attended by both friends and family. It's nice to know that you'll be missed and nice to be able to show people that they will be missed too.
After hours of partying, a surprisingly small amount of tears, an hour of I-don't-give-a-shit-anymore packing and about 3 hours of sleep on the hardwood floor, we were ready to be dropped off to Heathrow. Bleary eyed we drank our coffees and said our goodbyes as we were fast-tracked through security only to be delayed in the body scanner. This was the start of a mammoth journey which would have us arrive in Tauranga, NZ on the 12th of August.
