We're here!

After a VERY long day, we arrived safe and sound in Auckland today. The flights went great until LAX - where we already had an 8 hour layover until an 11:30 pm departure, but then the flight was delayed until 1:45 am. We had lost that "isn't this fun and exciting" look by then, so no more pictures until we have a chance to rest up! I'm posting one of us at the airport, where Erin and Dan dropped us off in the morning ... the check-in girls couldn't believe we were packed for six months!

auckland reminds me of flying into Ireland ... it is the most beautiful green island, with rolling hills and mountains and lakes and rivers - just really pretty. Can't wait to see more of it!

We'll write again when we've rested up for a few days - thank you all for your good wishes, they worked!
