jetlag

In case you were wondering, yes we did land in New Zealand. We’re just catching our stride here in Auckland. We’ve been jetlagged and trying to figure out our surroundings for the past week. Unfortunately, it seems to be common practice here in Auckland to charge for internet so right now we’re paying an outrageous price for every minute of internet that we use. That makes it difficult to search for cars or keep in touch, but we do get to play a fun game called “unplug the internet.” What this game involves is going to the required page as quickly as possible and then unplugging the internet as soon as all the information is loaded so that we pay for as few minutes as possible. We’re not very good at it yet.

Otherwise, we’ve been very happy here. The first few days were rainy and gloomy, but the last few have been sunny and nice. We finally found the grocery store, and we’ll probably be buying a car tomorrow. We’re missing Triscuits, Lactaid (uh-oh), and deodorant which doesn’t involve a spray can. However, we’re very happy with the selection of local produce, meat, and cheese. We haven’t even had a moment to take the camera out of it’s case yet, but we’ll start thinking about that soon. I’ve got to unplug the internet now, so more later!
