Day 10: "Lost things!"

Somehow, we thought we were leaving Wednesday for Iowa.  After talking with Grandma, we realized it was really Sun. night/Mon. morning.  We looked for our copy of our e-ticket to confirm everything and couldn't find it anywhere.  Dan emailed the travel agent in NZ, but the lady that handled our ticket wouldn't be in until August 4.  OOPS.

Later, I was looking for picture frames we had bought and couldn't find them anywhere.  Finally, I decided I must have left them in the back of our first borrowed car, and in the dark during the exchange of one car to the other, must have left the bag of frames.  We called the owner of that first car and...NO.  No frames in sight.

But after feeling very confused and befuddled, the light has dawned.  We found that Grandma's e-ticket was really all three of our tickets and our flight has been confirmed (for the Sun. night/Mon. morning time.)  And...Dan found the receipt from the store of the picture frame fiasco, and they weren't listed.  Turns out, we never bought them.  (We must have inadvertantly put them down in the store or something before checking out.)

So...yahoo.  All is well.
