Sleeping pills make it go faster. :) It's better than flying from NZ to London, which is two 8-hour flights via Asia. Still, our parents' generation mostly traveled to the UK by ship - imagine that! Rhys, SavingDiva and Bloggrrl: It's amazing what cross-over effects the value of one currency can have. Exporters here are pretty unhappy, that's for sure. Ryan: It’s a 13-hour flight.
