LEAVING NEW ZEALAND

As I travel I recognise all the tender mercies I receive and things I am grateful for. I shall mention them as TM.














My son Aden got me into the Koru lounge at the airport so I spent a couple of hours lounging around like the frequent travelers do. TM1.


When I checked in I saw that my seat was by the window and I really needed an aisle seat for the excursions to the tiny room. A young lady was sitting in the middle seat so I asked her if she would mind moving to the window – step one!. Then a young man who had the aisle seat came along and I asked him if he would mind sitting in the middle. Step two - task accomplished! TM2.


He was a lovely young man from Singapore who had been on a working holiday as a chef in Oamaru for six months. Had a wee chat with him about Singapore until we were all asked to move. Apparently someone had paid for the sky couch and that was in our row. The two young folk got moved up a couple of rows and I got moved to Premium Economy – not in the aisle – but I coped. TM3. There I had a chat with a lady who was going to Gallipoli with nine other people, seeing where their ancestors had fought and died and then cruising the Greek Islands.
