The Land downunder
Well we made it finally. For some reason Dianna and I thought that the trip from Vancouver to Sydney was 13 hrs when in fact it took us 17 hrs of flying non-stop. Our flight was late getting into Sydney so we missed our flight and had to catch one a few hours later. In total without layovers we were in the air for 27 hrs. All in all it went well but we are glad to be here. The apartment at the Quadrant is nice little unit and centrally located. We were out for a walk to night on a t-shirt and sandals so I can certainly handle that. We are going to get some much needed rest tonight and hit the town tomorrow. Melissa should be with us by supper time tomorrow and we will spend the day around Auckland together. Anyway readers so far so good. Auckland is a big city and certainly resembles a north American city. A nice hot shower really felt good once we got here. Signing off for now.

I followed you for a couple days on Flight Tracker and you seemed to be wandering aimlessly around the Pacific! I figured you must have underestnmated you time a tad. Glad you're there safe and sound. Miserable weather here today so you can feel guilty! Auckland is supposed to have one of the highest numbers of sailboats per capita in the world so you may see a few.
