I'm in ur Auckland, cuddlin ur kiwis.
Hey nerds and turds, I made it to New Zealand! The fourteen-hour flight from LA to Fiji was by far the best part of the freaking twenty-eight hours of transit. At first it sucked because I was trapped in the middle seat and the lady next to me had stanky feet, but once the plane took off she moved and then I had three seats to myself and it was so awesome!
Jono and I decided to go on a guided tour of New Zealand because getting around is nigh on impossible without a car and all the jaywalkers freak the crap out of us. Plus I’ve been having anxiety attacks about this trip lately and some guy at Pixar recommended easing yourself into a big trip by starting out on a guided tour. Plus I think this will make my dad happy slash marginally less freaked out that I’m so far away and basically have no plan. Plus we found this spoogiastic package which costs like $280 for six days’ transportation, hostels, and some day trips! So that is awesome.
So finding that trip was the best thing that happened today. The worst thing that happened today is a tie between three things: 1) I saw a guy with a glorious rattail in LAX but by the time I got my camera out, he was GONE :( 2) I thought I was packing so super lightly but my pack is still compressing my spine to the point of scoliosis, and 3) the awesome GPS tracker that David and Mary got me seems to only work in the US ;..(
Oh but also! Jono made the excellent point that we get to see Harry Potter a day before everyone else! Booyah grandma. It’s gonna be awesome. Just like this trip.

That sounds awesome. I’m bookmarking your page so update frequently that I may live vicariously through you. In that same vein, what happened to that first post that was on here, something about nobody seeking out pain because it is painful but only because through pain and labor one they can attain some greater good; like when you work out at the gym to get all hot and sexy. Or something. Anyhow, eat a kiwi for me.
