Rescheduling the flights out of Rangiroa, lay over in Papeete to depart to Auckland has not been successful obviously. Smacked in the midst of New Year Eve's day trying to get out of the town adds up to the icing on the cake. It will be lucky even if the carrier arrives in the airport. Whilst here the night before, a meteoroid had hit the runway causing delayed and canceled flights. One other headed towards the roof of the local residence dwellings while another headed down the bay. I was still thinking that the locals truly usher into a new year several days ahead of the entire world.
