Landfall


I have arrived in Wellington, New Zealand after a long journey involving a thirteen-hour flight and a 12-hour bus ride. Every time I leave for a new place, I have last-minute doubts and wonder why I'm leaving behind everything I know. This time, any such worries were quickly dispelled when I watched the Air New Zealand safety video. I was nearly laughing out loud in my seat, and only realized afterwards that I had just enjoyed an airline safety video.

I was further bolstered by the flight attendant who asked me to "give 'er a nudge" when the woman next to me was too preoccupied with her meal to give him a drink order.

There will be more detail to come, but for now, I'm just happy to have arrived somewhere I can put down my bags and sleep in a bed.
