The flight to Auckland was a little turbulent but I slept for 10 hours of it. I took my usual two doses of gravol after dinner and they knocked me out until breakfast. My time in Auckland was short-lived as I only spent an hour wasting time before we boarded. Only 3 1/2 hours left in the sky before landing in Melbourne!
Oh, the landing! It was a bumpy one and I was bracing myself and praying this wasn't 'it'. There was a lot of fog outside of my window. The pilot informed us that we had to maintain a holding pattern for 10 minutes as the wind had changed direction, was moving at 70kph, and visibility wasn't improving.
Our descent was a bit of a foggy roller coaster ride - my stomach ended up in my throat four times and a few people shrieked, then cheered when we hit the tarmac. I just took a big, deep breath.
B met me at my gate and I was very happy to see him. We have caught up on stories we've missed and he's now cooking me dinner. I am very spoiled.

Glad to know you are back on "solid" ground after your rough landing. Nice to talk to you yesterday too. Miss you already!
