Auckland, New Zealand

April 9, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

After a rather uneventful flight we landed at 7:00 am on a Monday.   We left on a Saturday so we lost Sunday completely.  Or we just slept through it. Shawn’s fraternity brother Mike, who we haven’t seen in 30 years … Continue reading Auckland, New Zealand
