Crocodile Dundee Method of Airport Security
"Thats not a knife, THIS is a knife!"
This weekend Bethany and I used our Queenstown trip that we won in the half marathon a few months back. We were meant to fly from Palmy to Christchurch but were redirected up to Auckland then straight to Queenstown from there. I've a bit of disparity in airport security in NZ. While the palmy airport pretty much allows anyone to fly who isn't carrying a 3 mega ton nuclear warhead (too big for overhead compartments, must be checked), The Auckland airport seems to have some semblance of security gates. Now considering a Mach 3 razor will get you time at Guantanamo in the US I was a bit surprised when they dug out Bethany's keychain knife, passed it around to inspect, had a good laugh, and said, "that'll be fine".
The rest of the trip went well, just hanging out in Queenstown and eating a meal it seemed every 15 minutes or so. Pretty uneventful until the last day when Bethany took the first step into a life of crime, drugs, and prison - by getting a tattoo (or is that the second step? I can never remember).

Just for my curiosity: where is the tattoo located on Bethany's body?
I'll give you three guesses. Actually on second thought maybe thats a bad idea :-D Its on her hip just above the waistline.
The tattoo is the second step towards a life of drugs and crime. The first step is spending five years at vet school in a foreign country just to get access to ketamine.
I just happened upon your blog via google and wanted to let you know that Bethany and I got almost identical tattoos while in Queenstown!
My husband and I were on holiday from Chicago, USA last month and we both sat at White Tiger Tattoo. Mine is on the base of my neck and my husband's is on his thigh.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Have a wonderful day!
