Not to mention listening to "THE wireless" 😉

Now there's a word that's back in style a few decades later.

But can you imagine the young 'uns understanding the concept of "listening to the wireless"

So, I switched to CX EC for the flights home. Had to call AS with a question. I could not access my res. Turns out I needed to add my middle initial. After I got that fixed I asked about J availability. I am now going to spend over 25 hours in J, AKL-HKG-LAX, overnight in LAX and then home in F on AS.

The things I put myself through to go to Do's.......

I have heard some good things about the wines in OZ. Anyone have any experience with Kiwi juice

We understand that many things that others have taken for granted for years have yet to make their way north of the lower 48. It appears that we have found another of them.

Indeed! In fact probably way more than my share over the years! I'm sure you'll get to experience some of our finer drops during your stay here.

Indeed!!! Lots of good Sauv Blancs in NZ.

Ironically, I was buying the same Kiwi Sauv Blancs in the US for less than they are in Auckland. Though I think like chchkiwi I've had a bit more of my fair share since moving here.

Kiwi juice is the reason crankychick said yes... both to moving and to marriage
