Home!

Well, its been a long trip, but we're finally home! I went to school today and it was so good to see my friends. Unfortunately, I have a ton of makeup work to do in language arts - 3 weeks worth! Oh well. Its good to be home!

Soo close, but soo far :(

The deal is, we got on the plane in Auckland, flew over the pacific for 12 hours, arrived in LAX at 6:30am, and had to wait 10 hours for our flight to Seattle. Everyone was a little tired (it's hard to sleep in a tiny chair!) so we decided to go to a motel for the day to catch up on sleep. I just woke up, it's 2:00pm, so I got around 5 hours of sleep. It was amazing flying in to the airport, we had been flying over blackness for so long, the lights just started, and there was a ton of lights! It was pretty cool, the city looked like it was a bowl of beads, and the roads looked like they were little glowing rivers! In 24 hours I'll see you guys, earlier actually.

PS: i forgot to add hokey pokey ice cream to my list of things I'm going to miss, it's like vanilla ice cream with streaks of caramel.

last full day :(

I can't believe it's the last night, and that I'm going to see all you guys at school on Wednesday! I've made a list of 5 things I'm going to miss;
1= meat pies
2= L&P/lemon & paeroa(soda a bit like sprite)
3= bundabergs ginger beer(the best! and not really 'beer')
4= candy(licorice all sorts, pineapple lumps, peanut slabs, tim-tams, cherry ripes...)
5= australia & new zealand!
and, 3 things I won't miss;
1= being away from you guys
2= mosquitoes
3= other bugs:p
We are currently just out of Auckland and staying with my dads friends mom, Ms. Toussaint. She is really nice, and has a really lovely house, but the thing I find odd, is that I think the walls are all nearly the same shade of yellow! Mabe its just me, but I find variation in color nice. Tommorrow we fly out of New Zealand. See you soon!
