We have arrived!

All three of my flights took off, flew and landed without problems (ok, one was delayed 45 min but whatever). I read almost an entire book, watched two movies and slept quite a bit.  Moose enjoyed the rides though refrained from meeting anyone save an adorable 3 year old who wanted to take him with her.  Elgamore (formerly mini-moose, Adrienne expect a postcard!) spent most of the flights stowed in the overhead compartment (locker to Kiwis) and Petunia had a very cold trip in my checked luggage, silly stowaway!  I was picked up at the airport by my darling Auntie KC, cousin Alvey and his girlfriend Emma.

Welcome to Wellington!

In the past week (has it really been a week since I left!?) I have gotten pretty settled.  I have:

• Made the first pie (Kiwi Custard)
  
• Unpacked (remarkably easy with only one bag)

• Explored/Tried to get lost (keeping bearings of course)

• Met friendly people (Bruce the Wellingtonian Concrete mixer, John the Irishman, Re...something the Honey Lady)
• Played board games (Meet-ups is quite the website :) )

Alvey, Small World, Emma

• Purchased a phone with New Zealand number (I've begrudgingly joined the smart phone revolution, with pink style points!)
• Visited a used bookstore and purchased a book (Dune Trilogy)

• Been enamored by the almost constant and strong winds (Seriously!!)

  

  View from my Aunt and Uncle's house, for serious.

• Been quite cold because of a rainy day (Yesterday was chilly and I was outside for a lot of it)

Overall I'm quite enjoying myself, I still have next to no idea what I'm going to do past the next few hours at any given moment but I don't mind so much...yet :P
