12.21.05 Arriving in New Zealand

So far so good...sort of. My plane was a little delayed, but other than that everything went fine with my flight to New Zealand. Brad and Deb arrived later this afternoon, but it looks like Brad will be having to wash his underwear every night (or not) because the United people misplaced his bags.

We are currently at the airport waiting for Steve-o to come in from Sydney (he's been flying from London) so I'm sure he's glad to finally be on New Zealand soil.

We are planning to head out to a concert in Auckland tonight (will update later) and just catching up with Steve, who's been working with the South Africa America's Cup sailing team since the summer. Estevan has also been learning some Spanish, so we'll make sure and get him to teach us a few things.

We're hanging around the north part of the island for the next few days until the rest get here on the 24th.
