The adventure begins

Our travel from Christchurch, New Zealand to Salt Lake City Utah was long but pleasantly uneventful. It was nice to spend some time sitting next to my brother, Peter, on the plane. It is a long flight if you don't manage to sleep very much.
The immigration people at San Francisco were wonderful. In fact all the people we have dealt with have been helpful and obliging. Already we have proved the worth of the "one main between us" policy. A mesquite chicken salad in San Francisco airport was the perfect size for the two of us, and very tasty.
Our motel for the next 10 nights in Salt Lake City is great. We have a fridge/freezer and full oven, all larger than the ones we have at home, a microwave and a dishwasher. The most exciting aspect, though is the location - very close (almost adjacent to) a wide range of food providers.
Eating highlights so far are: chocolate peanut butter ice cream, ice cream sandwiches and some very delicious (and probably fat-filled) tortilla chips.
