A bit jealous of all the northern lights reports from friends in the US.

But then again, I am still in New Zealand.

Found a fantastic place for a picnic today.

Great to be back in the Queenstown area.

I did not recognize the town center and Eichardt’s public house is now a private hotel, but at least the amazing landscape hasn’t changed.

A great first day in New Zealand. Reunited with our daughter who has been here for almost 14 months!

Feels great to be here again after many decades.

After sleeping seven hours on the flight, and ten hours last night, feeling great

At LAX in the airline lounge, heading to New Zealand, and I’m going to take a shower just because I can.

Surely now we are great again
“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
