Enroute to Auckland

Talked to John earlier - he's at LAX, awaiting his flight to Auckland, New Zealand. According to my handy travel app, his flight, originally scheduled to take off at 11:40 PM, now shows a 2:40 AM departure.

Now that's brutal.

Since his flight is about 13 and a half hours, that will put him into Auckland at around 11:10 AM Sunday, local time. With any luck he'll still manage to catch his connecting flight to Christchurch.

At least he's traveling with a group of his fellow penguins - that should take a little of the sting off this 3 hour delay.
