Traveling and 1st Day in NZ

Hey Friends and Family!! Well, we finally made to the lands down under. We figured that we traveled for a total of 26 hrs!!! We left Overland Park @ 1:30 pm on Thursday, and arrived in New Plymouth on Sat. morning @ 9 pm. The flight from KC to SF was 4 hrs. and then the flight from SF to Auckland was 12 hrs. and our final flight from Auckland to New Plymouth was 1 hr. The kids did amazingly well considering the time on each plane. We were on a 747 out of SF, the kids first time on double decker airplane, which made for some extra excitement :) Everybody had their own TV screen on the seat in front of them, so we were all able to watch whatever we wanted. It had about movies, games and TV. shows to  to choose from.  I can't say enough nice things about Air New Zealand, the staff was beyond kind and believe it or not the food was decent. I think the best part was the wine they served with dinner and then they walked up and down the isles with the bottles asking who wanted seconds!! We all took our "sleepy pills" and got about 5-6 hrs of sleep. Woke up to a breakfast of fruits and omelets and Mimosa's.

Sweet travel attire Owen
