If my calculations are correct, you are in the air right now as I type this.  I'm typing this at 8:00 am and you left on 12/28 at 7:00 am, Texas time.   Hope the flight wasn't too bumpy and that you didn't have to use the cold weather gear because of a crash!

 Yes, You have the times correct. But we No we didn't leave then, we are back at the B&B in Christchurch. But have been told not to leave because we may have to go back and fly out today.
Good News... Alarm range at 1:15AM. 
Good news...We got on the air force plane this morning about 2:30AM,
Bad News...Sat on it for an hour and a half or so. They announced that there was a problem with an engine and they would check it out (that's a good thing).
Good and Bad news... So waited for awhile and they finally unloaded us and took us back to the staging area where we waited until about an hour ago (it is 9:30AM NZT).
 Good and Bad News...They sent us back to our B&B saying we would fly out tomorrow at 9:00AM.
 
Good and Bad News..When we got to the B&B we were told that the B&B had just received a phone call that we might flyout today, not to leave the hotel.
That is were it stands now at 9:30AM NZT
