Home for Christmas





Possible titles for this blog post include:
Home for Christmas or Raro-No-Go or Read Fine Print

Bottom line: We will be home sooner than anticipated. 

We are not able to fly to Rarotonga b/c my passport - since we left USA - is now less than 6-months valid. Rarotonga is one of the countries that will not allow entry with a passport that is less than 6 months valid. The country of Rarotonga will therefore not let me in, and would send me back to New Zealand. 

B/c it is Christmas, tomorrow is Boxing Day, then the weekend, then Monday holiday, the soonest we could even get to the US Consulate would be Tuesday, and even then I probably could not get a passport in a day. 

So, we are flying home tonight and will be home for Christmas - arriving LAX 10:45AM. Should be in SB by early afternoon. 

We are, understandably, disappointed, but now have yet another reason to return Down Under. 

Have rented a dayroom at the Novotel next to Auckland Airport. They made it all better - see photo above.
