Plans to leave N island

We are still in Auckland and the arrangements and the arrangers are all a mess-good people trying very hard to accomodate the disaster. We have reservatons now to leave early AM Fri (about 9AM Thursday to all you statesiders) and fly to Queenstown where Jim and Lynndeen will be waiting for us, then we will drive to Greymouth and be back on schedule.  IF we can still get a car in Queenstown.  More later.
