Flew to Tongatapu by way of Aukland and arrived around 7:30 last evening. The airplane ride was one of the best I've ever been on. A brand new airplane, good food, good service and free wine!

We made it through customs just fine thanks to the documentation Aaron had provided. They love you to come here but really want you to have a ticket to leave also. The food we brought for the boat was not confiscated.

We were greeted at the airport by a pleasant driver who took us 30 minutes to the hotel. Slept on the hardest bed imaginable!

We'll be meeting Aaron and Lauren at Big Mamas shortly before noon and will begin our sailing adventure.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode.
