Auckland

We're off on our next adventure! After about 24 hours of travel time (including a 13 1/2 hour layover in Los Angeles), we landed in sunny Auckland. It was a bit of a shock to go from the freezing winter weather of Kansas to the balmy temperatures of New Zealand, but somehow we managed to survive the transition. In Auckland, we were lucky enough to stay with Jesse's friend Jenny, who he worked with in Kansas City. She has been living and working in Auckland for just over a year now, and she was a great hostess! She took us for a tour of downtown Auckland, a harbor cruise, and up the volcano near her house in Mt. Eden to see the beautiful views. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! Thanks Jenny!

    A 13 1/2 hour layover? That is simple insanity!
