Days One and Two

Hey all!

I meant to post sooner but was too tired from the flight. Anyway, we touched down yesterday morning at about 6:30 AM and were greeted by some of Mum's good friends. After going out to breakfast with them, we drove for about two hours until we reached Cathedral Cove (the beach set in Prince Caspian). Believe me, it is as beautiful as it is in the movie. From there we drove for several hours until we made to Rotorua where we spent last night. This morning we went to a place called the Agrodome and watched their famous sheep show consisting of a show of breeds, sheep shearing, cow milking, and sheepdog demonstrations. After that, we went out to lunch with one of Mum's friends. Afterwards, we went to a place called Te Puia where we experienced a traditional Maori welcome ceremony where Dad served as the visiting chief, a Maori concert, and the local geothermal features. Then we went to the grocery where we got dinner and breakfast for tomorrow and then came back here so that I could tell you all that we've done.

Our connection is kind of slow so I am going to try to figure out some way to get pictures here eventually.

I'll do my best to get another post up tomorrow!

Update Numero Uno

Hey Guys!

We are currently in Houston waiting for the next leg of our flight. From here we are going to L.A. where we have to recheck our bags with Air New Zealand, then we have a 12 hour flight before we get into the country.

Don't expect to get an update tomorrow because it will have never happened for us (international date line and all that rot.)

Expect the next update on July 2.

Getting Ready

We're in the preparation stage right now so life is a little hectic. My goal for this blog is to get online everyday to keep y'all posted about what we're doing and to put up pictures of what we're doing. We'll be missing y'all!
