We made the nearly 40 hour journey from Christchurch to Toulouse earlier this week. That’s right 40 hours! 26 of which were actual flying time – 11 hours from Christchurch to Singapore, 13 hours from Singapore to Frankfurt, and 2 hours from Frankfurt to Toulouse, and the rest was layovers, transit, etc. Whew, it was…
