Greetings from New Zealand!
Hello All! We arrived in Auckland yesterday at 6 am. The flight was really long, but qantas airlines was very nice, with tons of in flight movies and free drinks. We arrived at our hostel at 8:30 or 9:30 but could not check in until 1, so we spent the morning looking for a way to get out of Auckland and to the south island. All the options were more expensive then we predicted, but we were able to get a great deal on a rental car for three weeks. We are all excited about the freedom that having a car will give us, but still a little nervous about driving on the opposite side of the road. We plan on camping instead of staying at hostels, so I am not sure how consistently I will have access to a computer. Hope everyone is doing well, comments are appreciated, let me know if for some reason they do not work. Pictures will come eventually, I am not sure how they work on the blog, plus I don't have any interesting ones yet. --Mark

Man, that is quite a road trip! Camping is a good idea, but be careful, you've seen Easy Rider, if people don't like the cut of your jib, sleep in the car.
Mark - so glad you arrived safely! Know you are going to have a fabulous time. Can't wait to see the photos!
Love,
MOM
Here's a tip from Bear Grylls:
"The key to avoiding avalanches is to read the snow. Use a ski pole to test the snow to see if it's compacted or in layers. If it's consistent when you push in the snow, it's fine. If it suddenly drops off, that indicates it's in layers and dangerous." - the alaska episode
and from me:
Good on ya boys
