Hello, Auckland.

Ah, lovely. Even in the rain it is lovely here.
Arrived Sunday morning around 6am. Took quite awhile to get through customs. I have the luck of being in line when they go from six customs officers down to one. Walked out of customs and there was Cathy. Gotta love that.
Met up with David (our amazing host) and Cathy's family before then meeting up with my sister and Jeffrey who are also along for the trip. The three of us spent the day shopping around downtown (these two are fantastic shoppers), eating, and jus enjoying each other. This is the first time my sister and I have been on a vacation together in YEARS. First time ever to be out of the country together. She and Jeffrey travel all the time for his business - they travel MORE than I do so they are super travel savvy. Good people to have around.
Did pretty good staying awake yesterday. I had a good sleep on the plane with the help of a sleeping pill - my first time trying that and it made so much sense. Finally went to bed last night around 8:30pm - the perfect time.
Just heading to breakfast now. Looking forward to taking a bunch more photos today.

I just got back from NZ last month. LOVED it! Make sure you have a pie and try kumara. If you get the chance to Zorb (down in Rotorua), do it. It was one of the most fun things on our trip. Wet Zorb is the way to go.
The people in NZ are some of the friendliest you'll ever find. And I'm so jealous that you might have a chance to catch an All Blacks game in a pub.
If you're going to Sydney next, I found the best bookstore there. It's called Kinokuniya on George Street. They have everything. It would be fun to pick up a book and then eat a Wagamamas's.
Oh, I wish I were there instead of here!!!

You're just in time for the All Blacks to play South Africa this weekend. Our rugby team is the best in the world so they are always good to watch! And fingers crossed they'll do the new haka! :) Hope the weather improves for you - it's pretty horrible in AKLD at the mo. I'd hate for Wellington to show us up! : )
