Despite all the packing and praying…we still got charged for extra baggage weight at the airport…hehe…

And the funniest thing happened when we were going through the luggage check…we’d checked in all the big bags, and I was pulling my small trolley bag while hubby had his backpack. One of the staff weighed my bag as I was going through and, of course, it weighed more than 7kg! She asked me to remove a few things (which I passed to hubby to hold) and re-weighed my bag. Satisfied that it was now less than 7kgs, she then weighed hubby’s bag. He passed my stuff back to me, so his bag also weighed less than 7kgs. So there we were, two bags weighing less than 7kg each, but carrying items that, put together, would probably weigh another 7kgs. And we were allowed through. I’m not complaining though…

We spent sometime buying food stuff for family and friends…biscuits, sweets and beef jerky…(which means we added another 2 or 3 kg to our hand luggage weight…nyeknyek…) before boarding the plane for the long flight back to KL. The flight itself was uneventful…unfortunately, it wasn’t a full flight though we did manage to get a row of 3 seats to ourselves.

As we stepped out into KLIA, and then out to the arrival hall where my parents were waiting to pick us up, I felt the humid, sticky air hit me…and I found myself missing NZ already…

And there you have it…the end of the NZ series!
