the first group of pics are from chicago, with the de-icing thing and then the sunrise. it was beautiful, untill it got too bright and just annoying. The next group is in backwards order so at the top are picturs of LA flying in, while the bottom are Fiji and the view around the airport. Right now im sitting in the auckland airport waiting for an hour or so for a flight to wellington. Overall, i believe the flight time will be 20ish hours and total travel time of nearly 2 days!!! its been quite a trip and im ready to get a shower!! I really wish i could have stayed in fiji but i guess the plane ride out was all i'll get. It was very beautiful and hilly and such. There were large areas of smoke that i was informed was where the sugar plantations were burning somethign as a part of the process. Overall, its been a really long but really fun trip! :)
