WE made it! What a flight, and an amazing first two days. Here is a brief overview of all events. LAX was a breeze, except for the thirteen dollar two bites of quesadilla. Literally, two bites, ridiculous (thank adair for that one). But the drinks were good, and cheaper than the food. Flight was easy, no turbulance and seemingly short. The layover in Fiji was hot, humid, and a long wait. The flight from Fiji to Auckland was short and beautiful. We took a shuttle to downtown Auckland, put ourselves up in a hostel (QSB) and took off into town. We took the ferry to Devonport and walked around the area. We searched underground tunnels and scaled barnicle-filled seawalls...and found ourselves on at a beautiful bay. The tide happened to be out, a few hundred yards out. We could walk seemingly forever in ankle deep water filled with star fish. We ate dinner in downtown Devonport. Drank a bottle of wine and fell asleep. Today we walked and walked and walked and sat down on a bench overlooking all of town. It was surreal, wish yall could see what we see. Miss everyone

Hi G and Adair! I'm so glad that y'all arrived safely. Sucks about the $13 quasidilla (sp?). airport food is always too expensive. Loved the 9 arm starfish. Take care. Have fun! Write again soon.
