I finally made it!

Sorry this it has taken me so long to finally create a blog! Getting to New Zealand proved to be more difficult than I ever expected and once I was finally there the time flew by! The next few posts will be highlights of my 17 days in New Zealand.

On my way to New Zealand I had a layover in Fjij. There had just been a cyclone, so when we arrived it was still pretty wet and the streets were flooded, but the view from my hotel room was pretty sweet. Very lush and green and you can see.

I finally made it to Auckland 4 days after I was supposed to have left LA! Not exactly how I planned it, but once again I was reminded that I am not in control of everything. You'd think I would have learned that by now. Anyway, Auckland is a fairly big city in the North Island of NZ. It is called the City of Sails and is the birth place of the famous yahting race, The America's Cup. On my first day in Auckland I walked around the city, visited the Maritime Musuem, Albert Park, ate my first meat pie, and saw the tall SkyTower.
