One long day
Hello friends,
I am here safe in Auckland. My plain got in at about 6am and i made my way to my hostel. I met a nice girl and the hostel from the States and she gave me some pointers but other than that and the fact that I am now on the other side of the world, nothing too exciting.
I left from Phil at 9:30 am on the 31st and got in to LA at 12:30. That flight was long and no fun. My lay over was 10 hours long so my friend Jamie picked me up. We walked around and got some lunch. It was so great to get out of the Airport for awhile.
Getting back to the Airport and checking in was strange. I talked to a few Kiwi's and it started to sink in. The past few days were really emotional with goodbyes and such so I was a bit numb, but still excited. The plane was of course huge and my seat was the Very last row there were only 2 seat and the toilet right behind me. I wasn't very excited at first but then i realized that no one was sitting next to me! So I got to lay down and i was able to sleep for over 5 hours straight. The food was incredible and the service was beyond excellent. The only bad part about the flight was that it was too hard to pick what movie I wanted to watch. We got in a little after 6am on the 2nd and I got through customs pretty easy.
I will have my orientation at 10am tomorrow, then figure out what I will do with my time here. The girl i talked to recommended I make a day trip to a local beach. Its a bit expensive but she said it was completely worth it.
Since I am not using my computer I cant put up any pictures for a while. But know that I will as soon as I can.
