My journey so far..

My travel to Argentina was very long! It all started at 6am on Wednesday morning when I woke up and had to say some hard goodbyes to my family :( Then there was the 2 hour trip to Christchurch with Mum, Aunty Penny and Nana. I finally left the good ol' Canterbury soil at 11.30 to catch my plane to Auckland. That part was probably the hardest part of the journey :'( After getting to Auckland I found out my plane to Chile was delayed for 2 hours! And man did I panic, I had a slim connection time to Buenos Aires any way with out a delay! The flight was 11 hours 20 minutes and it passed quite slowly... Then I basically had to run to my gate to catch the plane to Buenos Aires and ended up with 10 minutes to spare! After that flight I was greeted by an AFS volunteer and taken in a bus for an hour to get to the domestic airport. There I waited for about 5 hours for my final flight to Neuquen where I would meet my host family. I was literally asleep on my feet by then, having only about 3 or so hours sleep! But as soon as I landed I was so excited. I saw them through the gates with an argentina flag and a big banner saying Bienvendios Tish :) My host mum took photos so I will have to get those from her :) After that I was greeted with hugs and kisses and I already felt they were really nice :)
