Last night was the first time I can honestly say the boys appeared a little anxious about leaving. Even though they both indicated that they couldn't wait to land in NZ, they were both sad to have to say goodbye to their friends. I told them that they have to remember that it is only for three months and they will be back by Spring and that I will feel the same way when I wave to Grammie and Boppie on Wednesday morning. That seemed to make them feel better. We all went to bed early and got up feeling rested and excited!
Everything is packed and zipped up. No more room to shove anything else, except for the banana bread that is in the oven as we speak (just a little homemade treat for the airplane ride). Derek's parents are flying home tonight from Florida and then will come pick us up in the morning to drop us off at my parents in Toronto. From there, we will go to the airport.
I've been trying to imagine what it is going to look like once we exit the plane in NZ. Haven't a clue. Maybe lush greenery and sun??? Oh, I hope so. We have a car rented and will drive 5km to the Richards' home where we will set up base for a few days. The boys are excited to meet Thea and can't wait to give her a Canadian mini stick to play with. This will most likely be the last post I write until we land in NZ. Until then,
E noho ra, Kerri
