Day 1

I am Axel Manton.  Timothy Hotez, Matt Green, Alexandria Koffer, and I are a team of paleontologists who have been working together for 6 years now.  We are about to set out on a trip to try to find a fully intact mummy of a dinosaur-age creature.  We are being funded on this trip by the National Museum of Vanuatu.
On the seventeenth, we will set out for Port-Vila, Vanuatu at 1:55 pm.  We will arrive at 6:52 pm at Los Angeles International Airport.  We will be there for about 3 1/2 hours.  We will then leave for Auckland Airport.  Our expected arrival time is 7:15 am the next day.  We will have a 5 hour 50 minute connection, and then will fly to Bauerfield International Airport.  We will rent a car and stay in Blue Pango Motel, Port-Vila.  The day after that we will start our excavation on a hill nearby.
The reason for us searching there and the exact location of the site are classified information.  As part of the deal with the National Museum of Vanuatu, I had to write a blog on our trip.  Our trip is expected to last up to 5 years, but it could take more or less time.  You may think that that is a long time, but what with our goal, it really isn't.  I should post every day, but I might miss a few days here and there.
