Journal Entry
We're here!
I'm excited to report that Rachel and I arrived on time and in one piece (each!) at Christchurch, New Zealand, after a relatively uneventful series of flights.
We were met by a USAP (United States Antarctic Program) representative, given instructions for the next day, and shuttled to our hotel for the night.
Rachel and I were anxious to check in, take showers, and spend some time in anything but plane seats!
We made plans to eat an early dinner and get to bed at a reasonable hour.
However, we decided to take a little nap first...
Uh-oh.
That was the end of our first day in Christchurch.
It was 7pm.
After two days of flying, all I wanted was a decent meal and a bed... not necessarily in that order!
