Finally....an internet connection!!!

We have been in New Zealand since April 2nd, and finally we are able to get an internet connection. Sorry for the delay...here are a few photos from the past few days.

Newark Airport....ready to go!!!

We were lucky and got upgraded from NYC to LA!

My new addiction....Star Alliance Showers!

Star Alliance Showers....I recommend it!

Andreas waiting for our delayed flight from LA to Auckland

There she is! See the tiny window at the very tip of the plane...that's where we sat.

Mom, your right...it will be hard to go back to the commoner's class after this trip.

Best night's sleep I've ever had on an airplane.

The crew of this flight was amazing!

Finally....we landed in Christchurch

Had to add a layer...its freezing here!

Love this photo...it sum's up a huge part of our trip. He has taken some amazing photos. The blog doesn't do them justice, but i'll share a few with you now.

There's Big Bertha....I mean the camper van....standing next to the van is small shannon. Oh, and that was the view from our campsite the first night.

Yellow Eyed Penguin...I know what your thinking...YES, its cold enough here for Penguin's 

One of the few times i've gotten out of the car to take in the view...Andreas had to snap a photo of the moment.

Bahhhh....Sheep crossing!

Iceberg! These things were massive!

Needed a little exercise!

Meg - it was raining and freezing, the church was closed and we drive an hour to get there...but Andreas made me feel better by taking a few great pic's.

Sunset on the way to Queenstown

We are now hanging out in Queenstown...at a Starbucks. ;-)
The trip has been amazing so far. We drove past AJ Hackett Bungee Bridge this morning, but its freezing here and the idea of jumping to my death into freezing water was not high on the agenda this morning. We will discuss the idea of jumping from a bridge or plane in Australia where it currently is around 80 degree's.

I have lot's of pics to still share from my little camera. No great landscapes, but still some great shots of me and Andreas, which is what all of you want to see anyways...right?

Love you! Shan & Andreas
