Hey everyone! Welcome to our blog! We are beginning our journey to New Zealand, and this is the flight path we will be taking... well not really, we will be traveling south west over Hawaii and Fiji. But the picture shows how far we are moving!! We are so excited for this adventure and we are excited to share it with you all!
We will be arriving on October 29th, but leaving the US on October 27th. The time difference between Pacific time and New Zealand time is 19 hours, so we lose a day by traveling over there!
If you are unaware, the reason we are moving is because Matty got the great pleasure of getting a job at Oktobor Animation in Auckland, NZ. He will be working on the TV show Penguins of Madagascar for Nickelodeon! He is very ecstatic to start the job! The scary part for both of us is that we arrive on October 29th, and the job starts November 1st! Whoa... we have three days to look for an apartment and get settled in... Yes, you read it right, we do NOT know yet where we will be living. We have a hotel set up for 5 days, but we are really hoping to find an apartment in that time or faster.
It is very nerve racking but we are so blessed to go on such an incredible journey. So keep checking back in and see what we have been up to! We are hoping to have an update within the first week we arrive.
Thanks for being a part of our blog!
Love,
Matty & Carla Walker
p.s. Those of you animators who are checking this out, there will be some animation (Penguins rock!) topics on here, but it will mostly be New Zealand stuff :)

ReplyDeleteBon voyage, the adventure starts now. Too bad you couldn't fit me in your luggage...hmmm it would have added to the cost! Oh well, looking forward to seeing you on skype and reading about the upcoming chapters in your book of life. Love you lots Aunt Lynnette
Thanks for sharing all the pics & adventures...am loving it!!! How is the job going Matt? Question...so how high is the sky tower that people are bungee jumping from? How did the move to your new home go? Heard the hotel was itty bitty!
