Journal Entry:

By the time I got to bed last night it was after midnight. Then an opera singer kept wandering up and down the halls - seriously she must have had training her voice was beautiful and it was amazing what she could make her voice do, but it wasn't conducive to sleep. So the four thirty alarm was way to early. The taxi to the airport and the flight to Sydney were without excitement. In Sydney Susie met me for coffee - she'd had a rough night and was in worse shape than I was. The flight to Auckland was also unexciting and went by quick (they showed a movie I hadn't seen!).

At the airport I got a rental SIM card for my phone - it's a good deal, doesn't cost me anything except for outgoing calls are NZ$ 1 per minute (US$ .50). Caught a shuttle bus into the city and checked into a nice hostel. By this point I was so out of it I did all I could to stay awake until proper bedtime.
