It pays to travel with a sharp knife!

This is the knife that friend Joanie gave us the night before we left for NZ. We had one last burrito at Freebirds and this went straight into our bags. Well, as fate would have it, we have been in a series of accomodations prior to moving into the long rental, and the knife has come in extremely handy.

Here'a a partial list of what we've cut so far: bananas, pineapple, apples, dates, grapes, potatoes, celery, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, avocado, zuchini, pickles, pork chops, chicken, cheese, cake, brownies, aspirin, numerous bags and containers, who knows what else.

Just don't pack it in the carry-on.

By the way that's Herr Salz and Frau Pfeffer who made the journey, too.
