Finally Made It!!!

I made it...my dreams are coming true! The plane rides were long and exhausting however, the 13 hour flight into Auckland New Zealand was the easy one...we got dinner and breakfast served to us and T.V.s on the back of each chair equipped with free movies, games, music, and much more! I must have ate something at the LA airport that didn't go well with my tummy, before take off to New Zealand I gave the flight attendants a little clean up..but they gave me ginger ale and from there on out I was fast asleep...I even missed dinner!

On the bus heading to Lennox Head!!!

We landed in Brisbane today around ten am Brisbane time and got to our cabins at Lake Ainsworth around four pm Lennox Head time...same as Sydney. After unloading the bus we all ran to the beach to relax in the Australian sun, play soccer, and body surf...caught a jellyfish in my hand (not on purpose and it didn't sting me...it was tiny) and found a few on the beach as well. The cabins are amazing...two rooms and a bathroom a kitchen with stainless steel and white appliances...already stocked with everything but food! The beach is a two min walk from our front door and you can always hear the ocean and the hum of nature! We also had our first barbie with some of the local teachers and Lake Ainsworth faculty! Ill be uploading pictures as soon as possible but right now I'm enjoying my first few days of relaxation before classes start on Monday!
