I'm Finally Here!!

So I did it, I'm finally here in Auckland. Thank goodness too because I don't think I could have handled any longer on that plane (4 hours to LA and then 13 to Auckland, plus another 2 in line at customs).



After a long plane ride ( which included the principal from Mean Girls as a passenger and being stuck between a married couple on the next plane), I finally made it to the hotel in the middle of Auckland. It's a good sized city with streets filled with shops and all sorts of restaurants. A couple girls and I walked to the bay after our first information session. It was basically a powerpoint about the local lingo and how to be safe while walking up and down the streets of our host city. Our coordinators top two rules were: Don't do drugs and don't drink too much. Neither of those will be happening to me.



For now, I'm off to shower and get ready for our dinner tonight, although I feel as though I should almost be getting ready for bed. It's 3:30 Sunday afternoon here and 8:30 Saturday night there. Hopefully this jet lag doesn't kick my butt.



See ya soon!
