June 7th 2011



After months of work and waiting, we finally left off on our trip to Australia and New Zealand. We were all anxious to get up and go to North, well at least I know I was. It felt even better to share this excitement with the other kids who were going. It was a pretty simple procedure by checking our bags and work in with the teachers seeing as we already covered that the other night. So we said our final goodbyes to our loved ones, we were off on our way to the airport for the flight to LA. The teachers said this trip would help us learn to bond more as a family, and it sure worked since we were stuck at the check in computers with nothing else much to do but talk because there was a crash with one of the computers. We did catch allot of people staring at us, on account of our matching traveling clothes. As a matter of fact, we saw another class traveling abroad. By the look of it they seamed like they were from some all girls asian private high school, we each exchanged the same confused expressions at one another. Finally we moved on, we got to the gate, got lunch, and then we got on the plain. The first flight of many, it was nice that I caught a movie and show on the flight, it would have been more respectful to the other passengers if the girls didn't cheer out loud when we landed. As soon as we got off the teachers wanted to rush to the next flight seeing as we didn't have much time on our hands. But it was worth it to see how nice our international flight was. The Qantas flight had comfortable seats, a selection of things to watch on our televisions, and great food; the last fourteen hours just flew by. Then at last, we were finally in Auckland, New Zealand, the first stop in our trip. Despite the rain just outside, I was so thrilled to see what this country had to offer, as well as the rest of the trip.
