A glorious sight,
To see the New Zealand morning light,

A cheese omelet with fruit to eat,
After I awoke in a somewhat comfortable seat.

Over the beach, onto rolling hills in green,
A picture perfect view I have seldom seen.

After landing, five hours I had to wait,
For the not yet open Sidney gate.

But in any case,
I got to watch many International travelers in this place.

Decaf coffee with a blackberry and custard muffin to enjoy.
They accepted American dollars but not having change seemed a ploy.

Security was called when,
A sweeper found a strange looking pen.

But it was reclaimed soon by a young man,
That had been looking for his expensive pen.

Fife hours to wait was a long time
But it gave me plenty of time to rhyme.

I send an SMS to Daphne and Ashley to let them know I was safe
A senior traveling alone but brave,

In three hours I will be,
In Sidney Australia to sail out to sea.
