Dave's out fishing and Jill's in Florida

Jill has made it safely back to the US and spent the week with her parents. The flights went well, but she almost missed the second flight due to a delay on the first. She arrived home safely, but missing one piece of luggage, which the airline delivered the next day. The week back with family has been really enjoyable. Jess and Roger flew down from Boston and Aunt Sandy and Morgan drove up from Melbourne. Jenn and Ben were able to go out to Hilliard for the day on Saturday, so with the exception of Jacq we had a small family reunion. While Jill is almost acclimated back to the states, she did drive on the wrong side of the road today. Oops. Just a little more time and everything will be second nature again. Dave arrived back to the dock in New Zealand on Thursday after being out for 5 days. The trip went well, but they didn't make it to The Three Kings as planned. The two couples on board didn't want to get rocked around to much on the boat, so because of the weather they decided to stay in the bay area. They did do some snapper fishing and king fishing and caught some of each. Dave had a great time with the charter and with Barnaby (the captain) and Miranda (the other deck hand). He heads back out on Friday for a couple more days in the bay area. A few more weeks of fishing and that will wrap up Dave's time in New Zealand. In one months time Dave will be back in Key West.
