May 26, 2004Last Entry in NZWe leave for Rarotonga tonight, so it may be a while until you guys hear from me again! After there we go to Tahiti for a day and then I think we are in LA around June 8. I am...Read this update May 25, 2004Get Me Out of HereStill stuck in Auckland. We call every day to try to get on an earlier flight, but they are booked. So now we really are leaving tomorrow at around 7 pm. I am excited to go to a new place,...Read this update May 24, 2004Stuck in AucklandJim and I decided we were ready to leave Auckland tomorrow for Rarotonga and we called Air NZ to change the tickets and they said nothing is available any sooner. So we are stuck here for TWO MORE DAYS!! We...Read this update May 22, 2004Rotorua and the NorthArgh, again frustrated at the lack of internet access (sometimes it is just Jim not letting me go. Heh.) So we got to Rotorua, Jim went on his rafting trip, and the rest of the day we took it easy....Read this update May 19, 2004Stinky RotoruaLast night we went to a quiz night at a local pub and there was a quiz on famous faces--name them and split $150 with your team. Jim and I kicked butt and knew every person except 3 rugby sports...Read this update May 17, 2004North Island quittersIn Kaikoura, Jim signed up for the dolphin swimming and I signed up just to watch, since I am not "confident" in the water and it is stinkin' cold. The next morning we got up early to go and it...Read this update May 13, 2004KaikouraSo we left Nelson after a day and went to Blenheim, without any real idea of what to do. We didn't kayak or do anything at the Abel Tasman park, mainly because we couldn't get excited for it. It is...Read this update May 10, 2004Carving BoneWe are currently in Nelson, the second biggest city on the south island. I am not ashamed to say that we were starving after the 4 hour drive and dying for McDonalds or Burger King. The town we were in...Read this update May 09, 2004I Walked on a GlacierWell, I can now say that I walked on a glacier. Big whoop! It is one of only 4 glaciers that are next to, um, temperate rainforests or something. In the world. The two here are the Fox Glacier and...Read this update Australia - Final TallyBEST thing: Sydney and snorkeling on the reef. Also, OPORTO BONDI BURGERS!! WORST thing: The fact that every deadly insect and animal is in Australia and even in the cities. (i.e., funnel spider). Enormous spiders and insects are everywhere, lots...Read this update May 05, 2004Leaving QueenstownWe finally left Queenstown after two days and didn't do ANY "extreme" activities. Paragliding or whatever it is called sounded great. And Jim wanted to white water raft or go river sledging but it just wasn't the right time of...Read this update So Much to TellI hate that I can't use the internet more, because I know I will forget stuff if I don't write it down. Not only is it hard to even find internet cafes sometimes, it is quite expensive. So....... we've done...Read this update |
