I was suppose to have a conference call with some people back in the states and so we all showed up early and it was canceled at the last minute so we all got up early for nothing, will have to address that with the project manager... The AU office was about 30 minutes from our hotel so we all squished in a cab.

So a short 3.5 hours later we landed in Auckland. New Zealand is very strict about not letting any fruit or other foods into the country and Kia had brought a lot of stuff for her father.
