17 December 2008 Out of Antarctica

The team caught the December 17, 2008 flight to Christchurch at 0530. Approximately eight long hours later we arrived in Christchurch, claimed our luggage, and turned in our Extreme Cold Weather Gear. I stayed one night in Christchurch and left for Los Angeles on December 18, 2008.  I managed to take a few interesting pictures on the flight from Auckland, New Zealand  to Los Angeles.
