Reporting of being there from here requires several things.
1.
A
wild ass imagination.
2.
Technology
Walt Disney inspires creative people by reminding them that
our only limitations are our imagination. “Imagine if you will” planning and executing
a trip around the world, virtually, traveling in real time. How would you want to travel? Your
imagination is your vehicle of choice. This reporter chooses to travel fast in
order to see as much as possible in a short period of time. Money is not an object;
once again, I have a wild ass imagination.
The technology for this journey lives in a box before me. It
has cool terms associated with it. Terms like Terra Bite, Six Core, DDR3,
Liquid cooled …it’s all protected by a metaphorical big ass
bouncer called 1 to 1 push pull transformer. That part of the technology is for
navigation and research, it’s the visual component. The audio component is …let’s
just say it represents the inside of a Lear Jet extremely well.
All this technology requires electric current to live. So, as
our virtual selves sat in Fiji waiting to depart for New Zealand our real time
selves shut down all this technology to protect it from bad things that happen
to technology when 70 MPH winds run among tall timber and power lines.

| Leaving Laucala for NFFN |
The flight from Laucala Island to NFFN to return the Goose and
transfer ourselves back into our Little Bird was not without challenge. High
cross winds along with 200# of "stuff" placed aft made our water take off memorable. On
final approach into NFFN some other pilot, who does not know the rules, pulled
onto our active runway causing the tower to wave us off of what was a darn pretty
approach.
We leave Fiji behind.
More later …
