I'm posting from the 'free internet' computers in the Aukland airport while waiting for our connecting flight to Queenstown. It's cold and rainy here, but I'm hoping it will be nicer on the South Island (which will actually be colder. weird to think about). Our 14 HOUR flight from LA to New Zealand landed about an hour and a half ago. It was horrible. I was seated right in front of a sick baby. When it wasn't screaming and kicking the back of my seat, it was coughing like the kid from the PSA about whopping cough (the one with the mom? You know?). I don't understand why people bring their babies on 14 hour plane rides. They should have rules against that kind of thing. I ended up getting enough sleep somehow and I don't feel too jetlagged. It's about 11 am here (Friday June TENTH!) so I guess we'll have to see how I feel in a few hours. They just called for our flight to start boarding and...a young lady with a baby just got into line. Fantastic.
G'Day Kiwis!
Hi. I'm thoroughly excited that you have a blog for this trip. Just to let you know, I will be stalking it daily. Have fun being artsy!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got there safe and sound! If it makes you feel any better, it's REALLY HOT AND DRY here . . . and, your interview is set for the 18th as requested. So . . . enjoy the cool temps and rain (we're jealous) and the adventure! Keep us posted. Love 'ya lots!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud that I finally got something to post! Are you proud too??? (Sadly, it took me umpteen jillion attempts to figure out the process.) LYL!
ReplyDeleteMy first blg post! Hazahh! Hope the next leg of your trip will have less crying and coughing. Can't wait to hear about it. Have fun and remember the 3 rules.
ReplyDeleteI think the baby on the the second flight was put there by fate. Obviously, without a screaming child you would sleep, and then later you would find yourself wide awake at midnight. This would allow your jet lag to propagate further into your trip causing you to spin out of control in a sleep hazy which is less desirable when trying to use a camera. You should thank the child.
