Hey everybody,
Sooo, we're now in Wellington after a very long but beautiful train ride. This city is soo much better than Auckland, so we're pretty happy about that. We're starting to drop off some resumes and look for apartments, so thats exciting too...well as exciting as starting work can get anyways...
Thats all for now,
Lauren

We've Arrived!
After some slight delays at the Buffalo Airport we've made it down to New Zealand with a little time travelling to boot.
We got in at 4:30 in the morning and found that we could not check into our room until 1:00 pm which led to us wandering the city and discovering that Auckland does not seem to be the place we want to live. It's rather expensive, not a lot of nightlife, and pretty much feels like Toronto with a little less culture.
Our next stop is going to be Wellington by either train (which is suppsed to be a very eautiful ride but $90 - 120) or renting a car with two girls from Oklahoma whom we met. Apparently our drivers licences from home will work. The cost of intercity travel is rather high with everything being +$100 but a backpacker has offered to sell us a car for $600 which raises some possibilites.
We have purchased a cell phone so employers can contact us and you all can too! The number is 0064-21-065-0532 feel free to call us cuz it's free for incoming calls and God knows we're cheap.
That's all for now but we will update everyone once we've spent a little bit of time in Wellington.
Catch you all on the flip side
Dan + Lauren
P.S. some pictures will be coming

The night before...
So we're getting ready to go...we have about 17 hours now until we leave, and we thought we'd start a blog so that everyone at home can be updated with what's going on during our adventure...
We're excited and nervous at the same time...which i guess is understandable considering we're flying to the other side of the world tomorrow...
There's not much more to say right now, but we'll try to post regularly once we get there...
