They're Here!

From Left to Right: Warm greetings at the airport; first crew arrives at Lincoln University; safe arrival.

Everyone arrived safely and full of excitement this morning.  Despite jet lag (what happened to July 1st?), our efforts to keep everyone awake until dinner time seemed to work and let us get out and enjoy the sunshine.  No doubt everyone will sleep well tonight.
From Left to Right: Cheers Hokey Pokey Style; On Top - an overlook of Christchurch and surrounds from the Port Hills; Sheep meet and greet; Hike down to Sign of the Kiwi.

Twenty-plus hours of actual in-air time might be worth sunrise over the Southern Alps

Look forward to seeing our students soon, and hope they remember to not watch movies all night == get just a wee bit of sleep on the plane. 
: )
Arrived Friday to sunshine (which the Kiwis say has been elusive for weeks) and negative two degrees C.  Not too bad coming from a heat index of 100 degrees F.  You can do the conversions here, http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm
