Our Final Day in Auckland

So we have ended our trip here in Auckland. We had flown into the port here but haven't seen the city until now. I like it more than I expected, it is a large city but is more enjoyable with more shops, gardens, cafe's compared to Wellington.
We hung out at Starbucks a couple hours lastnight so Luke could update some work files while I finished my fourth book since beginning our travels. I vowed back in college that once I graduated I'd never read another book because I had so much reading then. Well, I think I've stuck to mainly magazines until now...my vow lasted 5.5 years!
Today we are going to one of the gardens and enjoy some time outside in 20 degrees Celsius before we get to MN and get 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We also have the huge feat to organize all of our luggage and try to minimize our carry on bags due to all the heightened security. We are expecting long lines and waiting at the airport and a pat-down or two. Looking forward to seeing family and friends and Rocky!! See you all real soon.
