Bon Voyage!

In and around Auckland, New Zealand

Early start this morning, had to leave for the airport at 5am as we flew out at 8.30am. Originally we thought it was JAL, but turned out to be an Air NZ plane charted by JAL. After an emotional farewell, we said goodbye to our families and tried to pulled ourselves together to make it through security. Man 10 weeks sounds like a really long time!
