 NB>> And likewise to you and yours...  :)  My sister and her daughter
 NB>> (presumably, since I haven't heard from them since their layover in
 NB>> Detroit) celebrated the new year along with you all in NZ... visiting
 NB>> friends there for about a month...  :)

 PH> Thanks :) Oh, that's nice for them. I wonder which part of the country
 PH> they were in?

She was telling me, but I promptly forgot it... sorry... ;)  Pretty sure
it is something on the South Island, as she was talking about making a
special trip to the North Island... possibly her friends live near the
north of the South Island..?   They did finally make it, after also
missing their connection in LA and staying overnight there... weather
was definitely not cooperating with them... But they got there
finally....  :)

 PH> I had my brother visiting us with his family and they
 PH> live in Seattle, so it was nice to see them for a couple of days also.

That's a little closer, but still quite the significant journey... :)

 PH> We're starting to make some plans to visit them sometime in the next
 PH> 6-18 months.

That's sounds like a nice trip, too...  :)   Then you'll only be the
width of a country/continent away from me, instead of the other side of
the world and other hemisphere besides...  ;)  It's good to have time
with family...  :)
