Today’s Gratitude Item: That my luggage *finally* made it ‘home’. I arrived back in Auckland late last night but my luggage did not. Happily, the airline called early this morning to let me know that said luggage had been located and would be delivered to my door. The actual delivery took much longer than expected, possibly because of an accident on the harbour bridge.
