The drive back from Durango was nice: sunny, snowy, not much traffic. When we arrived home, however, we had to shovel about 8 inches of snow! The snow was fluffy, and with four people helping the driveway was finished quickly. Laura and Checkers saw friends on Monday (December 19) while Brian and I got stuff ready to go. On Tuesday, we took a shuttle to Denver International Airport, then went to San Francisco International airport, where we were met by Brian’s brother, his family and their mom, Grandma Pat. We shared a lovely meal and lots of conversation, took a few photographs, then Megan (Brian’s niece) gave us traditional Christmas Cookies! YUM! We brought them to New Zealand.
Also at San Francisco Airport, we saw a historical display of Mechanical Slot Machines.
Then the long plane flight over the Pacific Ocean, landing in Auckland!
