Let's go to New Zealand!

Just got off a 12 hour flight from LAX to Auckland, New Zealand and the descent down was breathtaking...the sun rise, mountains silhouetted in the horizon surrounded by a deep blue Pacific ocean. Who's gonna come to New Zealand with me?

So, my training class consists of 21, mostly female...2 couples and 2 who are in their 60's with grown children. Makes me think that 2 years in the grand scheme of life is not that long. There's one fella who is starting his 3rd mission!

We now have a 3 hour flight to Port Vila where we will be greeted by the host country family and other Peace Corps Volunteers currently serving. Training for the next 3 months will be intense and once we successfuly train, we graduate to become officially Peace Corps Volunteers in December. We are all anxious and excited.

Full steam ahead...
