The Day... well 16 hours of it at least.

Ok well Good Morning, its around 6:45, I have just slept on the next hardest thing to  the ground!
Besides being sore and it still raining out, our primary objective today is to try to find transport and maybe a phone, were going to need cellular internet at some point too.

Enough about today (Thursday) lets look at Mon-Wed haha,

on the Way to Drop of the ol girl, Last time I got to see her...

After we got into Los Angeles  there wifi wouldn't work so I couldn't fix the spelling or up load those first photos.

After what of course seems like forever we finally start to board, this is the first glimpse of the lovely lady that will be taking us to our new home. Very weird and mixed feeling here!

Sitting in Seat 56a looking at the LAX terminal as it changed colors, waiting for push back.

Dinner Was SERVED!!  Beef Lasagna with potato salad bread roll, crackers, NZ Cheese Häagen-Dazs Chocolate ice cream, and an L and P to wash it down, GOOD STUFF!!

if you get a chance to have some L and P it is SUPER GOOD!!

Fell asleep around 1 am LA time when I woke up I took this picture and the next one. A little past the point of no return.

Just before Breakfast at about 430 am Auckland time or about 10 in the states.

the cabin lighst warm from dark through a few warm tones like this pink to full white light they did the opposite for "sundown"

Breakfast is SERVED!! oomelette du fromage (which I learned from Dexter's Laboratory) fruit salad, (pass on the peaches) yogurt (Which I usually don't eat but this stuff was good) and some left over cheese from diner. also received complementary toothbrush with the tiniest tube of tooth paste I have ever seen about the size of a quarter, sleep mask (before just after diner obviously) and a deck of cards! and yes that is real silverware and yes we took it haha

This just show the path that was taken...

as we climbed in altitude the temp kept falling, very cold.

Colder

Colder haha

This photo is blurry because we pretty much had some kind of turbulence the whole flight, during some of the worst of it I snapped this pic, I think that this was contributing to it lol

uhhh ya cross wind of 147 MPH  thats pretty legit if you ask me...

Time lapsing the sunrise and landing  will be posting that some time in the future, its very short and pretty crappy because I 1.) had to hold it, and 2.) it was pretty bumpy on top of that.

Our first glimpse of our new country

Our first "holy crap look at that moment" I believe you can click on the pic to view in full.

the intlet into the big bay to the south west of Auckland.

Same inlet as we turned from base onto final

Now across the inlet looking north more or less

Our first real "this is going to be cool" moment

After landing and deplaning, a view of the port engine that carried us around the world, the Mighty GE-90!!

Engine porn here

WELCOME TO AUKLAND!! the Nose of our gal, she was the last addition to the 777-300ER fleet.

Taken on the way to customs, y a very friendly air Korea steward.

After customs and Bio-security hanging out in the airport... no free wifi here either. but seriously cool observation deck!! that is our gal there, we were the 4 or fifth widow from the back other side.

 

Well thats all for now I have to upload some more stuff wake the lady so she can do some packing stuff that she wants so do I have to try and find a diesel because gas is 2.06 a L and diesel is 1.46 a L so that a no-brainier lol probalem is there in demand which makes them more expensive than we can afford. haha awesome :-/  anyway.

See you soon,
Bryan
