Farewelling NZ

A week before leaving we had our farewell party. It was a great night so thank you to those who came. Also thank you to everyone who wrote in our farewell books. They are something we will treasure on this journey. We have added some photos from that night below so enjoy.







With the party out of the way all we had to do was somehow pack our entire room (lives) into two 20kg bags. Not as easy as you would think!!!! But finally Saturday the 4th August we made our way to the airport. Shailen flashed a smile and each of us got away with 28kgs and didn't need to pay any extra.

It was a teary farewell with Charlotte, Mocklet, Cat, Jayesh, Presheen, MJ and Dion S. We finally got through customs, although not before Alisa got pulled over for a "random" search. Score so far is Alisa 1 Shailen 0! LOL
We were making our way to the gate when we hear over the loudspeaker "Alisa Dewsnip please make your way to gate 10 your plane is ready for departure and everyone is waiting for you". No mention of Shailen!!! Does that make it Alisa 2 Shailen 0????

We walk on to the plane with everyone looking daggers at us and then my phone starts to ring loudly!!! Charlotte wanted to have the last laugh at us! But all ended up fine. The plane took off with us on it and our journey was underway.....
