Day 2....or is it still Day 1?

Last night (Friday night) we spent the night at Steve and Patti's cottage in Mallett's Bay, it was their first night (at the cottage, not a honeymoon) and they were kind enough to invite us. We had a "today I have a headache" good time. Steve and Patti love us enough to invite us in but they apparently don't trust us that much because when I got up in the middle of the night, I found we were locked in our room, I managed to escape out a window (nature was calling) but could not break in, so came back in the window and Patti let us out in the morning after she was up and could watch us. If they ever invite you out to their summer place on the lake, just make sure you don't drink too many liquids before you go to bed. :-)



After missing our flights yesterday with USAIR, they booked us on a 1PM UNITED flight to Chicago, then to San Francisco, then a 9PM to New Zealand. After experiencing the quality of the USAIR team yesterday, we decided to go to the airport first thing this AM to check in and make sure we had seats, I am making a very long story short by saying...surprise..we had no reservation with UNITED, after another stressful hour and a half with the "USAIR/UNITED/Continental Team", we made the panic call to Liz and John and they dropped everything (well John did) to get our car for us......but we are now in Newark, and came via Continental. We have a 4:20PM out of here to San Fran, arriving at 8PM and leaving at 9PM for NZ. Too tight for a international connection, but that is all we could get..I even tried to get something here in Newark...no luck.....anyway, we have our fingers crossed.

Hopefully, the next time you hear from us, we will be in New Zealand.......
