josey and I survived the first miserable leg of our trip. way too much luggage and long lines kicked things off and after tears from my mama and josey's papa dukes we were greeted only by tight assed flight attendants. thankfully i had a middle seat and a man to the right who was not willing to share the armrest. heavy headwinds tacked on extra flight time and we had to stop in vegas to refuel. BUT 2 hours later than scheduled we arrived in LA to jennie's open arms. simultaneously josey punched me in the face.
jennie fed us and bathed us and took us to some swings and sent us away with snacks and zinc.
we just shared our last american beers for a while. awaiting a 13 hour flight to auckland. then 2 hours to queenstown.
BOARDING.
