The trip began the way every trip should- with chocolate! I had some truly divine morsels to keep me company on the long trip across the Pacific. With merely a regulation-sized carry-on and a backpack, I was feeling pretty good about my expert packing skills. That was, of course, until I noticed I left my charging camera in Houston. Shucks!
I must have been pretty exhausted during my travels because the movie marathon that I had been looking forward to on the long flight didn't really happen. Thankfully, I made up for it on the way back! I went from flying in the biggest plane I've flown on (nearly 400 seats! - full) to probably the smallest commercial plane (just 19 seats- less than half-full).
Perhaps the most exciting thing that happened to me was having my pen explode all over me. The crappy pic with my cell phone doesn't do the mess justice. I think I'll have to give the win to Sam for best travel stories. Exploding pen vs. Lady Gaga? Yeah.

I didn't realize your pen exploded enroute, Becky...yes, Sam certainly does have the best US-Auckland travel story. Like you, I didn't watch a single movie on the way out there...but, I did catch Up in the Air (very good) and Couple's Retreat (horrible) on the way back. Looking forward to some more NZ blog posts from you when you get a chance!! :)
I think Air New Zealand is one of the better airlines I've flown in recent years. I watched "UP" on the way DOWN. I wonder who was sitting in First Class when we traveled to Auckland in December? I better sharpen my scanning skills for the trip back.
