Well, we made it to New Zealand safe and sound, and with the exception of it being a hassle making our connection to Queenstown, it was a great trip.
I got my usual amount of sleep, and managed to wake up relatively refreshed. Edie didn’t fare quite as well, and after walking about a half mile to the domestic terminal in Auckland (which was the main hassle making that connection), Edie was a little worn out.
She did recover enough though to visit a few wineries, while we waited for our room to be ready, and even spent some time watching a few people out for a leisurely day of bungee jumping.
The biggest problem so far, besides the fact it’s overcast and raining, I forgot to bring my stash of green tea, and I didn’t bring any extra hair bands, is learning to drive on the wrong side of the road.
The driving isn’t so bad, but trying to remember to get in the car on the right side instead of the left, trying not to turn on the windshield wipers when you want the turn signals, and remembering the rear view mirror is to my left, not my right, has not been quite as easy.
We’re now in our room trying to relax a bit before going to dinner, after which we’re hoping for a good nights sleep.
All the results are in, and it’s a thumbs up for our trip to New Zealand.
