We have made it to New Zealand! The trip, as to be expected, had a few periods of excitement along the way. We got through security at MSP airport and were very anxious to get our trip underway. The anticipation quickly turned into a bit of frustration after our plane was delayed 2 hours and we were unsure if we would make our Air New Zealand flight. Well, we did make it and even had 10 minutes to spare! Then we were off on our 13 hour flight and after a couple of movies and some sleep we arrived in Auckland, New Zealand around 7:30am on February 21st.
So here we are, quite tired, groggy and we certainly could use a shower. But we are very excited to be here and look forward to many adventures. There is a Symphony playing tonight just down the street in a park for free, so we will likely attend that this evening and just relax and enjoy!
It is about 68 degrees and a bit overcast here. Hope you all are doing well.
Just before departure in Minneapolis, MN.
In Auckland, just after our arrival.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear that you made it safely to N. Z. I have a letter from the Utah DMV. Do you want me to sign your name and send it back? I think it is a title name change for your pickup. Wild gane feed at the Balsam Bible Chapel this evening do you want to be signed up?
Have fun, Love, Mom & Dad from somewhere in Balsam.
