Ahhhhh! So excited!

I'm SUPER excited about going! I'm getting really tired of being in CT watching the snow piles turn from white and fluffy to gray and icy. I'm flying out next Friday (the 18th of February) through Texas and California, and then I'll arrive in Auckland, New Zealand Sunday, February 20 at 9:55 in the morning.
