Brand Spanking New Zealand

With immense skill I managed to wake up 3 minutes before my shuttle was meant to leave after ignoring my alarm completely. Once more I defied all the odds and was already packed so just sprinted to the front door. It would appear the all encompassing definition of Fiji Time also includes being extremely punctual. I made it though and took the crazy ride while being slightly comatosed.

I swooped through check in and security, and ordered a crazy chinese salad which spiraled into me playing chicken with our boarding call, while I waited for it.. When I finally got on, it turned out I had a seat by the emergency exit door, with no one next to me! Awesome. Though escape hatch looked quite battered as if it's seen use before, interesting. We got a nice breakfast (has brown, omelette, sausage, croissant and fruit) and I watched The Game Plan for the 2nd time. It's starting to destroy my soul. It would appear the nitrogen in my blood hasn't expanded and killed me, though I had exceeded the minimum delay time before flights (of 18 hours) but only just.

We're just descending toward Auckland. I miss cities. At least westernised cities. Apparently NZ is an hour ahead of Fiji, which makes the time difference for home not 12 hours. Confusing.
