More then Half Way Around the World

I don't want this trip to stop ... the fast-paced change of scenery has been mesmerizing; like a giant slide show with an old projector:

slltrr vineyards
slltrr desert
slltrr city
slltrr beach
slltrr ocean
slltrr old friends
slltrr glacier
slltrr ...

And now the slide show is almost over; the second-to-last slide shows the tail of an Air New Zealand jet against the backdrop of a ring of mountains (is this the most beautiful airport in the world?) and then the projector will come to an end, there will be just a white rectangle on the wall, the lights will come back on and I need to go back to my normal life.

But I don't want them to come back on yet.

Just give me another slide. One more. Something different.

Tomorrow, travelling back in time to before I left as I cross the international date line, and then the last slide.

  1. I see you're back in SF from your twitter updates.

    Don't stop blogging - I want to read more about the culture shock!
