So the adventure finally begins! I have been moaning to everyone for ages that time has gone by so slowly this year, but the past few weeks have gone by incredibly quickly! Leaving was definitely a lot harder than I had expected. This trip will be by far the longest I have ever spent without my family - the longest so far being when I went to Brisbane in February for eight days..
I'm going to miss them a loooott. There were lots of tears at the airport but don't worry guys, modern technology will make it feel as if I'm not even that far away :)
Our first flights were pretty gross. We have been in three different cities today - Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland - all of which were rainy, cold and windy! So our flights were very bumpy which was uncomfortable, but it makes the thought of leaving to Fiji tomorrow even more appealing :)
This post is pretty average so sorryyy guys since it's my first! But I'm absolutely exhausted after a manic and emotional day but hopefully they will get more exciting! Just wanted everyone to know that Matthew and I are safe in Auckland, staying with lovely, lovely family friends for the night and will be arriving in Fiji tomorrow at 3pm! (Same as NZ time)
