Monday, September 10, 2007
The beginning of the next chapter of my life started this morning sometime as I passed the date-line and September 6th, 2007 vanished from my life forever. Kind of a solemn start to a trip huh?
The plane ride went well. Air New Zealand is a great carrier to fly with. Decent food, great staff, and all the free bootlegged movies and shows you can watch.
The flight was about 13 hours long. I had a window seat, and the middle seat was empty. The aisle seat was occupied by a man who graduated from the U of A Engineering program, Small world. I picked up his email address.
After getting off the plane, I took my time going through customs, making sure to declare my fuzzy hat. The New Zealand officials are so nice to deal with, especially after dealing with the Americans'.
The hostel doesn't allow check-ins untill 1300, so I stored my backpack and found where my orientation was to be.
About this time I started to realize how tired I actually was. The world has been spinning for several hours now and I feel like a zombie. The McDonalds hasn't helped any, so I know it's not food deprivation. I think I'll find some water and try for a quick nap.
It's been about 30 hours since I've slept.
