Flying is never the fun part of a trip. Sitting for hours on end, no internet, and the hope that you don't sit next to someone who smells.
Luckily, our fights have been decent. Portland to Hawaii was long, five-ish hours, but the lady next to me was peaceful, and Jessie, Katie, and I talked about the last week of our placements and the incredible amounts of work that we completed. We will miss our students but are very excited to meet the students, teachers, and staff of Point England School in Auckland.
We landed in Hawaii, for our layover, had a quick bite at Starbucks and got coffee so we could stay awake on the eight hour flight to Auckland, New Zealand. We are arriving at 10:00pm and want to adjust to the time difference as soon as possible! So we sit awake on the airplane. Reading and writing, we have spread out among six seats and set up camp for the next eight hours... Turns out I was the only one able to stay awake for the 8 hour and 48 minute flight. But, hey, I read an ENTIRE book for fun and watched a movie!
Finally, we have arrived in Auckland! At around 10:30 at night we made it through customs, found our luggage, and made it to the hostel! Tomorrow we will set off to explore Auckland.
