Kia Ora New Zealand!
Five flights thru the United/Air New Zealand time machine and my body made it, my luggage two days later, and now snow (kind of) five days later. Wanaka is absolutely beautiful! The best part-it’s the exact same temperature here in the winter as it is in Crested Butte in the summer! Ha-I won’t miss a month of summer afterall, just get to interrupt it with snowboarding and a down jacket from time to time. Oh, and a few heli rides…more on that next week.
