And the phone number, preceded by the country code of 64, is 4 381 2238.

Last minute preparations are in hand. We think we are ready to embark tomorrow morning. We keep our fingers crossed about the flights--5 hours plus from here to LA, and then a few hours later the big 12 hours 55 minutes non-stop from LA to Auckland.

It is difficult for Joan to cut the cord with the IMF. She is now (at 6.15 pm) on a conference call with her erstwhile colleagues discussing a legal brief to be submitted to the IMF tribunal. I expect she will be on her I-phone again in the airport tomorrow.

I need to give my beard a good trim...then we will go out to eat with John as the cupboard is intentionally bare in the Powers's apartment. (What the hell are the rules about those apostrophe esses?)

Maybe the next post will be in the LAX airport, using the laptop, while we wait for the Air New Zealand flight tomorrow night.

We will not have a Wednesday this week, though we will have two Tuesdays when we come back.
