Well, finally I got a connection through wifi that I can make entries with. This is Sunday 14May but will try to put in a couple entries from the start of our trip. Tuesday 2May06 we arrived in Auckland and met up with Donna Roberts the NZ HFH Global Village coordinator. She was a brave soul to come out at 4:30AM to greet us and herd us from the international terminal over to the domestic terminal. The flight was long and uneventful. Meals were good, 4 movies so-so. I have a hard time sleeping so read some but did also sleep some. Joan has no trouble sleeping. The 747-400 was only about 1/2 or less full so plenty of room to stretch out even in the low cost seats. We took a domestic Air NZ flight on down to Christchurch arriving there about 8:30AM where KEA picked us up and took us to their campervan depot. We picked up the campervans and we were off for about a 6km ride to our first campground. It works out well to stay in Christchurch the first day to recover from the 13 hour flight, stock up on groceries and other supplies and have a little time to sightsee. We just walk across the street from the campground and catch a bus.
