Kia ora

We made it. 24 hours of relatively easy traveling. We chilled in the sky lounge, had an empty seat between us, watched movies and slept. Pretty great. We even saw Pauly Shore at LAX. I honestly thought he was a crazy, high, homeless person when we first saw him. I may have been wrong about the homeless bit...

We are now in Wellington.  From the airport it looks quite charming. We're waiting to take a puddle jumper to Picton, and then a boat through the Marlborough Sound. Should be fun.

Thanks for the book recs. I brought Book One of The Hunger Games and The Help.  Hunger Games has proven to be a great travel read. The only downside is that the rest of the series isn't available as an iBook so I'll have to wait until I get home to finish the series.

Thanks to all the people taking care of Ella. I am a lucky, lucky girl to be able to do this. I love and appreciate you.





ps--Ryan is blogging, too. Bike.ella7.com. (at least I think that's the address....)
