Evidently, the South Island folks have an attitude about Auckland—that the big city folk are less friendly and a bit snooty. So far, I haven’t noticed that; it’s a pleasant place (for a city of one million!) Our flight was uneventful, the way airplane flights should be, and I finally made it to a hotel around noon. (After 5 days in people’s homes, a hotel room was a peaceful retreat.) The view is of the harbour from the room window. We are anticipating a large number of conference participants, perhaps as many as 400 on Friday and Saturday. This will conclude the trip and I’ll be on a plane home Sunday. I am missing home.
