My First Post

So here I am in Queenstown, New Zealand. The flight over wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. We had a seven hour layover in LA so we though we would leave the airport for something to eat. After a bus ride, a few stops on the train, and a lot of walking, we couldn't find one place to eat except for a gas station. Clearly we were in the wrong part of LA. Somewhere near Inglewood I think. So long story short we ended up eating at the AppleBee's in the airport. It was my first time eating at an AppleBee's and it was actually pretty good so I guess it all worked out in the end. Once we arrived in Aukland, NZ we had to catch a connection over to Christchurch and then the same plane would take us to Queenstown. We didn't anticipate such a lengthy walk over from the international airport over to the domestic flights and we nearly missed our flight. We literally had to run the entire way with them whisking us to the front of each line and we were still the last ones on the plane. We made it on though which is all that matters. When we arrived in Queenstown Betty and her Swedish friend Annie were there to pick us up and take us back to the cabin where we are currently staying. Its a very cool spot to hang out. There were originally five of us crammed in here but now its down to three so we have plenty of room. So far we have climbed a mountain, wet our whistles at the many pubs, chilled on the beach, went to a vineyard and had some great wine, and I even went out for a round of frisbee golf the other day. I'm planning on climbing a few more mountains, playing some more frisbee golf, going kayaking, and hitting up the 130 meter bunji jump before I leave here and continue on my travels. Not sure how long it will take me to do all that but I am in no rush.
