the night before...

tomorrow, at 2pm central time, i will get inside of my dad's white ford focus hatchback and drive to his friend's house.

at 215pm, we will walk the half-mile to the light rail station.

at 230 or so, we will take said light rail to the MSP international airport.

at 430 pm i will board a jet bound for LAX.

at 1230 am, pacific time, i will board another plane. destination: new zealand.

at that point, time and day will lose all meaning to me. i'm not even going to try to calculate the "back home it's this time" nonsense. i am going to a new country. i am going to live it, and likely love it. i'm going to eat foods at locally owned restaurants. stay in nice hotels. walk the unmatchable landscape. see the ocean. see new faces.

tomorrow, i begin my discovery of new zealand.
