We’re here! - Feb 3, 2007 (New Zealand time!)
Well, we have just arrived in Auckland and are standing at an internet kiosk while waiting to get our campervan. The flight was surprisingly not too bad - 18 hrs. total with an 8 hour layover in LA. We visited with Connie and Timmy (ahem…Tim) for a coffee and a stroll down Manhattan Beach pier, and even saw where the plaques of the AVP’s Manhattan Beach Open winners were.
Sat next to a guy named Tony (at first thought his name was “Tiny” because of his Kiwi accent) from New Zealand on the way here who was returning from a 5 week vacation with his family. Super friendly and gave us a lot of tips for how to make the most of our time. We had in-flight movies and games to choose from on individual screens. Sweet.
We are not too tired as of yet…adrenaline is still kicking I suppose. Speaking of kicking….man we are schweddy!! After we pick up our camper van we are heading north to Hokianga Harbour.
We think we are going to like it here.
Until next time! ~ Jess & Jonathan
Glad you made there safe and sound. Enjoy the honeymoon!
If you look closely at the photo in this post, you can see Jonathan screaming like a little girl while skydiving.
Me, I would scream like a BIG girl.
