auckland

Notes from the past 48 hours:
  • loved air new zealand. Incredibly friendly. complimentary wine w/ meals. my own tv screen with over 75 movies, 258 musical artists, and numerous tv shows to view at my leisure. (My Life in Ruins, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, State of Play, The Proposal and I think one more...??.) Also loved that I could view the planes progress and all landmasses we may pass. (okay, so not that interesting...)
  • feel like maybe i was being snotty to the hotel front desk yesterday morning. I was mostly just tired and also incredibly thankful they put a rush on our room. also thankful, they stored our backpacks while we trapsed down Queen Street for breakfast. Also amazed I was able to sleep for 18 hours plus. When does that ever happen?
  • McD's...not so good for breakfast.
  • am intrigued that all my drinks have had ice in them. Maybe its the american accent???
  • am a lil sad that blu has taken to looking out the window for me and slept in my room last night when she could have slept in my parents room. she really does love me. (yes, sometimes, I wonder...she howls for everyone else BUT me, unless she is unhappy about something.)
  • have eaten a ton today already: bacon & egg pie (not so good), gelato - licorce & separately dark chocolate (total yum) and a burger w/brie (ok...think the aioli was the problem). Tonight, maybe Mexican.
  • really wish I could upload photos. Have some killer photos of Kelsey and yucky faces over the dark beers in her flight. Priceless!!
  • Also, stole a photo of some old dude in the bar who was reading a book... minus the reading, it looks almost identical to one I took in Chinatown (SFO) at the bubble drink place.

Tomorrow, we are off early to take the bus to Rotorua where we will experience a hangi and haka for dinner. Then hopefully some black water rafting the following day. Only 3 more days on the North Island.
