those were the first words out of my mouth when our plane landed on new zealand turf.
i don't have a lot of time to write, so here are some highlights:
flight to LAX
i sat with an interesting irish guy who was traveling around california with 2 other friends. we talked for the last 2 hours of the flight. he and his friends accidently booked a hotel in compton. lets hope they are ok.
LAX
i meant this AWESOME kiwi couple waiting for our flight. they gave me a lot of advice and were very friendly. i have their phone number, and am planning on going out to dinner with them this week.
flight to auckland:
NO ONE SAT NEXT TO ME!!! i stretched out and slept for eight hours. it was pure magic. i tried to watch lawrence of arabia on the plane, but it wasnt working. so i watched little britain instead, listened to music, and played with my ipod.
Auckland:
Alison came on got me right on time. She is so sweet and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to new z. she has two other surfers at her house today (they are a married couple. one american, one brit). We are going to explore and hangout in Auckland City today. It is 800am on Monday. So, I think it make it 300 sunday in chicago? i think i did the math right.
!!!!
More to follow in the next few days.
peace out,

"Holy crap" were also the first words out of Bob's mouth when I told him that I was pregnant.
Don't be afraid to throw an elbow Mel's way in order to get closer to Jemaine & Bret.
Try and visit the toothbrush fence.
Ok, you made me cry.
This is so exciting! You are going to have such a wonderful time. I can't wait to hear all about your adventure. Enjoy today!
Who's Jemain?
Mom
AHHH! Hi mom! I miss you guys a ton!! Jemaine is a singer in a group called Flight of the Conchords...they're hilarious. I like Bret a lot better though. He looks like he should be in a bible movie :) Anyway, I miss you guys and want to run away and visit for a while. I also miss blueberry cobbler :)
Hey pumpkin,
I navigated though this mess of techno menusha so I could say hi and see some pictures... there are no pictures... a picture says a 1000 words where are my pictures. you need to take some pictures...I'm visual, I need pictures, so I don't have too read so much. More pictures thank you.
I love you and miss you, mom doesn't care much about Alex Tribeck. Cat:American Leaders

so, i was at work today and leo mentioned that he was sad you were gone because he misses you being there to call him "leonater" (right?). anyway, i proceeded to empathize with him, saying that i also missed having you around. he then asks me if i went to your going away party. "party? what party? i was told of no party!", says i. "if i knew about a party i would've have sure as heck have been there! hmph!"
these are my thoughts of the evening. i also hope you get the chance to kiss those big jemaine lips :) but bring back bret and maybe we can share him.....maybe.
fabulous facebook pictures to be posted soon...
audra!! my party invite was posted for weeks on the bulletin board. i thought you knew!!! that makes me sad too.
yes, call leo "the leo-nator" and " the leo-mister".
i will be sending you guys a postcard soon. and updating this blog as soon as i get the chance.
p.s. i havent found bret or jemaine yet. hopefully soon (i know they will be in auckland in the end of the month!!). MUAHAHAHA!!
