We lost a day flying from the Cook Islands to New Zealand. Our plane departed the Cooks at 7:40am Monday December 29th, and we arrived 11:00am December 30th Tuesday. Not sure how I feel about losing a day… life is to short. Anyway, we arrived to a lot less fan fare than our departure from Aitutaki. We really thought the New Zealanders would hold signs at the airport that said “Welcome Estebs”. I heard they were really nice to Americans. All is safe and sound in NZ. It will be nice to have a few`days to clean up and get ready for our next adventure. We want to give a big thanks to our friends Steve and Stacey Bean who hooked us up with their NZ friends Jo and Andrew Clements. And a big thanks to Jo and Andrew Clements who are allowing us to use their home for our first 4 days in NZ. This has been wonderful… allowing us to clean up, shop, make trip preparations and gather ourselves before we venture out. There is much preparation as we will be camping the next 10 days while headed to the South Island. We will spend most of January and the early part of February on the South Island and then head back north and spend the last 3 weeks on the North Island. NZ will be action packed for us and we will do our best to keep you posted.
