New Zealand is 18 hours ahead of the eastern time zone of Canada and the US. If it’s 4 p.m. Friday in Toronto, it’s 10 a.m. Saturday in Auckland. Oddly ones circadian rhythms don’t become too out of whack because you leave North America in the early evening and land early in the morning (albeit having lost a day to the international date line). We left our home in Toronto late Thursday morning and landed in Auckland early on Saturday morning. Then it was another 90 minute flight to Christchurch on the South Island. Regardless of all the time zones we’ve been on the move for 29+ hours including 21 in the air. We were buoyed by the knowledge provided by Air Tags that our luggage actually accompanied us all the way. So we’re here but exhausted. Thank goodness we have Sunday to explore Christchurch before meeting the tour group on Monday morning. Then the real fun(?) begins with the start of “the hike”.

Glad you made it safely with your luggage. I look forward to hearing about your adventures the next few weeks. ❤️
