It's been 5 days since we arrived off the plane. I can't believe it. It took so long to get here and now we just wait. I wait for the millions of boxes to start unpacking themselves. I wait for the kids to start school. I wait for David to tell me to get out of the house and go shopping.

We have registered the boys at there new school. It is quite cute.

The new Westfield Albany is very nice, very up market. Very expensive. I went to find out about having my hair done and the whole job would cost about 265 $nz. I nearly died. I don't have everything done each time but I was amazed. I will definitly be trying to find somewhere much cheaper. I have not told David yet.

We went to the beach here yesterday. It was beautiful. The water is lovely and blue. The sand is terrible. I am used to white sand that is terrible to walk in. This stuff is black and sticks to you.

I went to the grocery store again today. I am still amazed about what is on the shelves. I am learning all new products and some of the stuff is so strange. I had to start over in Sydney and I learned to like what I could buy now the selection is so much less. It will take ten years to get back to where I was. i am finding that it is much more Americanized than Sydney. So far we have found a Denny's and a Wendy's hamburgers. It is so cool.

Well signing off for now.
Love,
me
