New Zealand

My room in New Zealand has five different light settings. I can live in a "Passionate Red" room or a "Cool Green" room or right now I have opted for purple. This is literally the coolest thing that has happened since I last wrote a blog post. 

Spent the last 36 hours in transit--all of our flights were delayed. We were delayed long enough in Sydney that we got to take pictures of ourselves in front of the opera house, so now I can brag about how I've been to Australia. Clearly.

Today we are issued our gear for heading down there, and I think I am buying some duty-free whiskey.

Forward! Flight to Antarctica possibly tomorrow
