delay

i arrived in christchurch two days ago and boy was it warm! it was a nice surprise since florida had been having some unusually VERY cold weather. unfortunately i forgot that new zealand, like europe, doesnt really do air conditioning like america. it took me a while, but it got my hotel room nice and frigid!

wednesday i went to pick up my ECW and travel funds. its so nice being a returnee and knowing what you are doing. last year i was so freaked out and had no idea what to do and ended up getting a bunch of clothing that was the wrong size.

afterwords i went out to dinner at my favorite place, annies wine bar. it was so delicious! i sat outside, there was a nice breeze and there were some children playing in the courtyard. then i realized i wont see any children (age wise) for 3 months or more!

this morning i was supposed to get the airport shuttle at 5:45 am, but the hotel rang at 4 am and said we were weather delayed for 3 hours. then at 7:30 they rang again to say we were delayed 24 hours.

i am crossing everything, including my buttcheeks that we get there tomorrow. i would really rather not spend xmas in cheech, especially since i seem to be coming down with something.
