Left real early and drove back to Auckland
Met up with Jackie and left Becca after going to the hostel.
Coco, Jackie and I went to the market that is at the top of Queen street,
Then I got my bags and headed to the bus stop to start my 20 hours home!
My flight left at 7:30pm and I was at the airport way too early as usual, but I had to pay an excess charge of $200 for one extra bag. It sucked!!!
I was finally on the flight back. The flight to San Francisco was long, about 12 hours but I slept a lot which was nice, and I had 4 hot guys next to me so that was helpful. I then jumped to a different flight and waited around for over an hour, but got sushi for dinner =)
The flight to Boston went well and I got to watch more movies. 6 hours later I was in Boston where Jamison and Kat picked me up!
Whew. It was such a long journey home, but I made it safe and sound and now I am home and back to work at the gap.
