Well, I made it. My trip home was a thousand times better than I thought it would be, I don't even have any horror stories to tell you!
The airline I flew with was fantastic - from check-in to my arrival I was treated like a queen, I had help all the way through. In Vancouver I was able to board the plane first so that I could get the babies and my baggage on board securely and safely. The flight attendants and my neighbors were helpful, holding and watching a baby or two when I needed it. M, O and I all slept for most of the trip back to Auckland. I even ate and watched a movie.
At last we disembarked at the Auckland airport. One more flight to go.
On my way to the next gate I got the biggest and happiest surprise of my life - Ben popped up behind me! We hugged. I cried. It was such a relief to see him. He then surprised me again, by getting down on one knee and proposing! So, we're now engaged :)
I had a grin on my face for the rest of the trip back to Melbourne. I'd say that made for a pretty great trip home!
