We're here!

Now, I'm not going to keep this up... writing so often on the blog.. but this is a momentous occasion. We survived 22 hours on 2 planes and have finally arrived in New Zealand! Meg and Hayley picked us up at the airport and took us to their lovely house where we met the adorable Grace (doggy). Meg, Hayley and Grace have been the hostesses with the mostess so far - thanks ladies! We were hard-core yesterday... with extreme jet-lag we managed to go to see some bands play in the park near Auckland Uni. I even managed 3 (teeny) beers. We could no longer form sentences when were invited for a curry (yes, I was too tired for a curry) and we ended up in bed, dead to the world, by 8pm. 4am saw us wide awake eating toast and drinking tea... then back to sleep the sleep of all sleeps. Today is the first day in ages I haven't woken up thinking "I must do this, and this, and this..." Am so proud of myself for finally taking the plunge. This next year is going to be great, I just have a feeling!
My sympathy goes out to all of you back home who will be waking up to Monday morning at work. Sorry guys!
