There And Back Again

Its has almost been a year since we had the greatest experince of our time. I miss New Zealand a lot and I think about it all the time. I hope that we are able to go back and relive the unbelievable journey again. Now, I am a freshman at Highland High School and on the Freshman football team. I play wide reciever and cornerback. Its been going good, but our first game got canceled because of really bad storms and we lost power for about 2 days from the storms. Then about a week later we lost it again for abour 5 hours. Before football, Timmy and I made the Highland 13 year – old All – Stars for basball. We made it to the State Tournament and made one of the Final Four teams out of 16 teams in the state of Indiana. Then we lost our next game and became the 4th best team in the state of Indiana.
My Uncle Max and his friend Sue are leaving for France, but Timmy and me aren’t able to go because of school. I hope they have a fun and safe trip in France. Sue, don’t let my uncle use all the money on himself. Have a fun trip.
When we were in New Zealand Timmy was the bigger twin and now I am the bigger twin and now we look alike. Timmy has been working out every night.
I hope Gandalf can safely guide two young hobbits through Middle-Earth Again Namarie

Your friend,
Tom A.

P.S. We have Spring break through March 17 – the 24th.

Hello there,
It has been four months since I was able to smell the flowers in hobbiton, climb and see the mountains, and been able to live a lifetime chance. Many things have changed since New Zealand. I still have been doing good in school. I’m about to go to High school. I just got done with a basketball league and my team came in first. I’m in baesball now, I just tried out for a team. I don’t know what team I am on. I still miss New Zealand and I always think about it and I wish I could go back to it. I look at pictures and I almost start to cry because I miss it so much. Some people still ask me how much fun my trip was. I say it was the greatest trip of my life. It was the greatest trip cause I was with two of the greatest people in the world. I met some of the coolest people I could meet. Timmy has a girlfriend now and they have been going out for four months. She’s ok, but sometimes I don’t like her at all. I think when I get older I will go back and smell the flowers of hobbiton. The people I miss in New Zealand is Vic and Raewyn, they were the greatest tour guides in the world. I miss Heather and Vivian too though. They were two fun people to hang out with. The greatest thing I miss is, my Uncle successfully guiding two young hobbits through Middle – Earth. Namarie.

Your Friend,
Thomas

P.S. I love you very much Uncle Max… you are The Greatest Uncle in the world.

Well. . . Im back. Our journey through Middle – Earth has come to an end. I really miss waking up and seeing the mountains, sheep, and seeing Vic and Raewyn, and the tour group. Our journey was everything I dreamed it would be. I loved the entire journey especially meeting Bret Beadie, Daniel Reeve, Ian Brodie, Andrew Adamson, Chris Rutten, and most of all Vic and Raewyn. It was some much fun Horseback riding, climbing up Edoras in the rain and crossing the streams, going to all the sites because when you were there, it felt like you were part of the movie. I thought it was so awesome when we went to Gladden Fields our tour guide dressed up and when we went to Edoras our tour guide dressed up too. It was fun dressing up and re-enacting the scenes. This is a journey to remember for a life time. I thought it was great. The Vic and Raewyn gave us awards at our last night. I want to say, that my uncle is the greatest person in the world for succesfully guiding two hobbits through Middle – Earth. Namarie
