Well, it’s finally time for me to leave for New Zealand. I fly out of Albany at 2:17PM, and arrive in Auckland at 7:30 AM Sunday Morning (that’s 1:30PM Saturday here in New York - New Zealand is 18 hours ahead of the East Coast). Hopefully this flu I’ve been fighting has run its course - my temperature has been more or less normal for the past couple days, though I’m still coughing a lot. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to prepost blogs for various places I’m going to be (too tired from the flu, then too busy trying to get packed and ready for the trip), but I’ll try to post at least a couple times while I’m down there. If not, see everyone in 3+ weeks!
