We took an Uber to the airport, and the driver wanted to think that there was a good side to Trump since he had a relationship with North Korea.
We took a shuttle from the Auckland airport to our hotel, right next to this Sky Tower in the downtown near the harbor where we docked about 11 days earlier. We met our guide, Greg, for drinks and the orientation meeting, followed by dinner, all there at the hotel.
Our 17-member group was:
Keith and Noreen Shannon (Albuquerque)
Tom and Virginia Rich (Reno)
Julie and Walt Ballard (Union City, CA)
Steve and Diana Kraft (DeKalb, IL)
Bob and Karen Gautier (Salt Lake City)
Rhoda Howard and Kathleen Gates (San Fernando Valley)
Jim and Cynthia Lewis (Houston)
Sheila Thuesdee (Chicago)
Greg James, our guide, is from Auckland, and used to be in the food industry and restaurant business.
We learned that a bridge on the road to Franz Joseph Glacier had just washed away in a huge rain storm, so we will have to change our route after departing Queenstown on the South Island.
