Now that was a long....day?

Got up Friday at 5am. Left hotel at 7ish.....just sat down in new hotel room....3:30 am Sunday, EST. Had 7 hours of waiting in Denver airport, but I knew I was safe there...

then finally got to LAX to find a 4 hour delay waiting....

So what to do while you wait at LAX at 2 am? You think they would have left the stores and restaurants open...

Then the plane arrived to take us to New Zealand....

But I finally made it. New Zealand. Landed in Auckland then flew to Christchurch. More to come. Clothing issue tomorrow, then Antarctica the following day.

 

One of the Islands north of Auckland....

Snow capped mountains of Christchurch..
