Maureen told us about an island called Tiritiri Matangi which is an open reservation island. Since it’s a reservation it only allows 125 persons to visit the island each day, so bookings must be done in advanced. We were lucky enough to get places so we took Maureen with us for the day. The island is quite amazing, since it’s a reservation you are not...

Today we went to SheepWorld, this place gives you a real insight on farming in New Zealand, the girls had a blast in this place as they were able to feed some lambs and other farm animals, they all got turns to sheer a sheep and Sarai went out with a new favourite stuff animal, a sheep she now calls Rosy. The place is a good 45 minutes up north Auckland, which gaves...

On this second day at Auckland we decided to stay at the apartment resting, the long trip is finally taking a toll on us. The morning was quite uneventful, we had some breakfast and took a shower late in the morning. We are staying at a place called Devonport which is a suburb of Auckland. So you know Auckland is much like San Francisco in the way that the city is...

The airplane was huge it had 65 rows with 9 seats on each one. Each seat had it’s own TV with headphones, so you could choose what movie or tv series to watch. At first my TV wasn’t working, so I had to call the flight attendant. They had a catalog of movies which you could search on the screen. So, there I was looking at the catalog, when suddenly...

After a 12 hour flight we have arrived at Auckland! The flight was actually really good, the seats are really confortable and each of us was able to choose what to see on their TV, so the girls went with movies like Toy Story and Despicable Me. The place they are letting us stay at is on Davenport which is at the other side of the bay on Auckland, the city just like...

The last day at San Francisco. Today we spent the morning sorting out our luggage and do some shopping at Best Buy (heapdhone, webcam and yet another gift for my brothers). At 12pm we did our checkout from the hotel and headed out to meet Marco at his home, we didn’t have to be at the airport until 5pm so we were going to keep our bags at his home. Marco told...

Once more the girls woke up, played in the bathtub with their new toys and had a bubble bath. We had breakfast in the restaurant just in front of the hotel. The girls had sunny side up eggs, Uri had the same but with bigger portion and I had a Nutella waffle. OMG, the orange juice is delicious, much better than the Ihop ones. We went to Walgreens, because Saraí...

No, it’s not a mistake. This is my version with more stories. I hadn’t have much sleep, I was keeping eye on the girls so the barrier of pillows wouldn’t fall. They took a bubble bath, then we showered. We left the room tidy. In the hotel we had breakfast included, but Uri decided to look for a restaurant, so we went walking around (of course,...

Ok, second day at San Francisco, and a really eventful day. For starters our bodies are still on central time so we woke up at 5am local time. We decided to eat breakfast out of the hotel so we could try a different thing. Main problem is that there we were at 7:30am looking for a place to eat when everything comes to life until 10-11 am, so after walking around...

After a long day of travel which included a 2 hour bus drive from the house to the airport, a three hour layover and finally a 5 hour flight from MEX to SFO, we arrived at San Francisco! We are currently staying at the Stratford hotel, which is located right in the middle of downtown San Francisco. We arrived tired and hungry, because United just offers you sodas...
