I had no worries going through customs in Canada but in New Zealand there were two machines and it beeped on me. Something on my side. There was nothing on my side. I lifted my top to show, i had a fabric belt tied around my skirt, maybe that which wasn’t knotted is what triggered. Shrug. I do wonder what that was that had me patted lightly with a guard in plastic gloves. so it goes.

Good, thank you. Happy you are getting new uniforms. I’ve been living in Canada for 30 years and hadn’t been home for a pretty much that long. And it was really nice to see nice people everyone being nice, friendly and looking out for each other. New Zealanders have that reputation for being genuinely nice friendly happy people. Canadians have the reputation from Americans that they are nice people and there are many that are but mostly a little two faced and keep to themselves. Not genuinely friendly like New Zealanders. thanks it made me feel like I was home.

Flight was delayed an hour. We had just flown Air NZ on a 12- hour flight from AKL so the extra delay on this connecting flight wasn’t welcomed.
