So Long Australia, Hello New Zealand!
I made it into Chistchurch just fine and am staying at a very homey and comfy hostel. This place just makes you want to eat cookies and milk.
For the first time I had to check "The One Bag" and was a little worried about it. I was only allowed 1 carryon and it could only weigh 7 Kg and "The One Bag" weighed in at a wopping 17 Kg. But my day pack weighed in at 5.5 Kg. That was just books and a sweater. Anyway, I had to check the bag but it made it to NZ just fine wher I rented a car from Hertz for $728 for 14 days so for $52 NZ (about $35 US) I gets me a really nice Toyota Corrola.
I have to go now and put on my shoes (you can't wear shoes inside in this hostel) and I'm going to go have dinner at a place called Dux de Lux in the City Center. Should be interesting.

Two people I know just Sold all they had and moved to Christchurch. He was teaching at Thorp and she worked as a secretary at the college...they were very excited....the country offered them citizenship....All ships entering NZ waters have to unload their nukes....safe travels.

Mom - It's cold, but not as cold as winter gets back home. The highs are around 40-45 and the lows around 28-32.
