North Island, New Zealand, 4-17 May 2008 – Part 1

Day 1-2 (KLIA – Auckland/ Hamilton)
We were very excited to go New Zealand for our vacation. Why would anyone not want to take time off work for a nice long holiday? Despite the protests by some persons that I shalt no name, we brought Lucas along for his first real overseas trip! Truth to be told, I was a bit worried about the 10 hours flight with Lucas in case he throws a tantrum because when he cries, he can get really loud…piercingly loud.  Only at 7 months old, he has already been to more places than I probably did in my first 12 years of life. Privilege little babe ain’t he?

However, my worries were unwarranted because he was the sweetest boy all the way there and back although he wriggled quite a bit and even managed to free himself from the zipped flap in his bassinet after he woke from his nap. Thankfully, the man next to us was awake and saw Lucas getting up in his bassinet and woke us from our slumber.

This is a sequel to our most recent post – Lucas’ first few days of CNY. Despite the hot weather, many unfamiliar faces and numerous visitations to relatives’ and friends’ homes, Lucas was sweet all the time. Although he can’t quite hold his own ang pow yet, we are sure he can hold his own next year J. Anyway, here are some photos taken during CNY.
