Cyclone

A cyclone is on it's way to the Cook Islands..heading straight for Raro...which is where we are...sitting in the airport...all day. The good news is that our flight to Aukland, NZ is supposed to make it....Nothing like sitting out a Cyclone...It has been pouring rain and very windy. The schools were closed down, and the boats were literally picked up and moved out of the harbor. It is sort of like "Storm Watch 2009"...when snow comes to Portland. Big time panic. The last one they had was in 2005....and it apparently was a whopper.

On to NZ....for drier weather (we hope) and less humidity. Ready to see sheep instead of goats...and eat beef instead of tuna, tuna, tuna....and use napkins...whenever we want! (Napkins are like gold in the Cook Islands...you can never get one)...I also look forward to recovering from sun rash and swollen lips (allergy to tropical fruits) Not complaining mind you..but a few of you wanted to hear the bad parts..so there it is....See you in Auckland!
