Dont know what day it is cos it keeps changing!! Caught our next flight, Korea- Auckland and flew through the night again. Hoped for a sleep this time and loaded with a small sleeping pill.......Nothing !#?!#! Haha too excited or something to drop off at all! But we just closed our eyes and relaxed.
But it was the most turbulent flight we have ever experienced, probably only 1 hour in 12 that was smooth. A bit freaky when they suddenly turned all the lights on full bore and told everyone (for about the 10th time) to put their seatbelts on and we are like broken biscuits being tossed around- look outside and there is lightening all round us!! Happened twice- a wee bit scary, so best not to think about it I decided!
Got back to NZ well fed and excited at 8.30am. The airport has been radically upgraded so found there were no massive queues at the 2 immigration stops you have- was great. Out into arrivals wearing our viking hats lmao- should have seen Danni's face (confusion, followed by 'shrink out' but then smiles won through!!)
Back home and the house looks so good and airy after europes hotels. Managed to stay up for 36 hours today- is feeling like my midwifery days with long labours! We eventually couldnt hold our eyes open at 8pm so crashed!
Less jet lag for sure coming home even tho we had so little sleep this time. But went and picked up our animals at the kennels to find Shylah our very loved 13 year old shepherd was not right at all and she very quickly deteriorated and couldnt stand or walk and her eyes were continuously flicking round so she is really disorientated.
Trip to the vet and it is a wait and see thing, as something has happened in her brain or inner ear and treatment is only supportive. So we are totally focused on keeping her comfortable as possible.
Its rather weird that we had brought our flights forward two days and the day we return this happens to her. So glad though it happened this way so we can care for her.
