New Zealand!

So I just got to New Zealand and it is AMAZING. I love it. It reminds me of Hawaii a little bit… hot humid and GREEN. Anyway we checked into our hotel (which is super nice btw) and we have 3 hours to just relax and get settled in. Kellie got food poisoning on the plane (so did 4 other people) so she is sleeping right now. We have lunch in a few and then we go to this huge museum. Verge said there are so many floors of things to see that they have never even finished the whole tour.

Anyway a quick info sesh for those of you that don’t know what’s going on:

Doyle- my old music teacher and one of the guys who organized the trip
Verge- old history teacher and also organizer. They have been doing this trip for 15 years!
Kellie - my lovely best friend who went on this trip last year and loved it so much she convinced me to do it with her this year too!
Classes – World Music and Political Science
