29 July -Christchurch Airport

I think it is safe to say that buses and I do not get along.  I wanted to go to a needlework store this morning, but I got on the wrong bus.  Once I got it figured out, I knew I wouldn't get to the store and back on the correct bus to the airport.  I'd miss my flight, so I'm hanging out at the Christchurch International Airport.  Now out of the two airports I've been in here, this is the best domestic terminal.  The weirdest thing about flying domestically is that I have not been asked for my name/ identification a single time.  They actually believe that you are the person who is supposed to be on the plane.  My security screening in Auckland involved getting my iPad out of my bag.  I didn't have to take off my shoes or get my liquids out and they didn't check my ticket.  Today I won't even have to go through security screening to get on the plane.  Well it is a small plane with propellers, like a Skywest regional plane.  It's a nice change, but it also freaks me out.  


I'm off to Dunedin today.  It is further down the east coast of the South Island.  I'll be there for three nights.  Is a college town and a Scottish town.  It probably wouldn't have been on my list of places to visit in NZ except I've been looking at incredible pictures of the area for the past few years on Facebook.  One of my former students from Sierra HS in Manteca,CA lives there.  Kelly was in my history class and my AP US history class.  I have some fun things planned for tomorrow and Kelly has a list of things I need to see.  I'm excited to see her and hear about her life.


Sorry no pictures for today, but I put some extra photos up this morning.
