Auckland, Again

I'm back in Auckland for my last night in New Zealand. I've been just enjoying the beautiful weather and wandering around. I did decide to pay a visit to the US Consulate to have pages added to my passport. I'm not in any immediate danger of running out of visa pages, but my new friend John pointed out that (a) current passports are issued with too few pages for ten years of travel and (b) the easiest way to get pages added is to do it overseas. It was relatively painless--I just had to go to the consulate and wait for 25 minutes while someone pasted in the pages. Now, my passport is enormous...hmm, maybe I should plan another trip somewhere.
