We arrived here safe and sound around 8:30am Thursday morning, local time. We are about 20 hours ahead of the States (depending on what part of the US you live in). The flight from Los Angeles was just over 13 hours. It was a bit of a rough flight with turbulence throughout the night and both Caitlyn and I ended up getting sick. It made us feel a bit a better to know a couple other passengers and even a flight attendant also got sick, I guess misery loves company! We felt a lot better as we landed and were so glad to be here! We went through immigration and got our bags without any problems and were picked up at the airport by the rental car company. Caitlyn was a great navigater as I drove us to our hostel, about 20 minutes from the airport. The roundabouts are a little challenging, but I did fine driving on the other side of the road.
Check in at the hostel is usually 1pm but they were nice and got us a room early. We have a cute room with 2 twin beds and our own private bathroom. We are going out exploring for a bit now and will post some pictures this evening.
We are so happy to be here (it still feels a bit surreal though!)
We;re happy and relieved that you arrived safely and made it to the hostel with no trouble. Sorry the flight was so rough! Did you try your dramamine? Ivy & I went to see "HOP" this afternoon. We both liked it. Jerrad will have dinner with us again tomorrow night when he picks up Ivy. I'll keep checking for your updates until we leave Friday. but I will really miss them the week we are gone. This would be a good time to own an IPhone! We love you two. Mom, Dad, & Ivy too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sister, Hello Wife,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that you are making your way around - probably far easier to navigate for Julia than it is for me!
Can't wait to see some photos in the near future.
Have a good first day-
