  • Today



    Bonus Footage



    Lance was great - he offered a lot of insights as a New Zealand-born, Washington state-raised, New Zealand-employed tour guide who appeared in the Lord of the Rings movies and has a lot of local knowledge. Really great, yes, tons of pictures. I filled up my 512mb card and started on the 1gb card, still only one battery charge required. =)

    The other video captured our other highlight today in a slightly discombobulated format since the employees were yelling at me during the taping. I can't stress this enough, just wait until we get all the video together from our three cameras and my cell phone, it'll glorious.

    Today we bid farewell to Lehnert who is flying from here in Queenstown to Christchurch to Aukland to Hawaii to Los Angeles to Atlanta to Milwaukee. Please pray for his safety! And my sanity as I lose him... *tear* but Jojo and I are looking forward to the space in the vehicle so we can cozy up together and sleep there on rainy nights. But today is beautiful! In the 80s and absolutely sunny!

    One last tidbit, I am going to Portland via Phoenix next week on Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to seeing Esther. If you're in the Phoenix airport that night, I'd say hi, but I think I'll just inhale some hot desert air and head up north. Good times, good times... not looking forward to the end, but I know the adventures never stop. Today I overheard a conversation at a fish and chips shop. The girl was telling her co-worker that she dreams of Prince Charming coming and the two of them traveling the world together. A little different than the dream I always hear of buying a huge house and so on. Traveling is awesome, and I wouldn't want it to be my whole life, but I wouldn't want parking myself to be my whole life either. I really don't have control, so it makes no sense for me to say this but anyways....no worries, mates!

  • Thank you for the gazillions of pictures I'm glad you're going to see Esther!! w00t for LOVE Sorry, as much as I appreciate the LOTR pictures, I'm not driving 2 hours to Phoenix to see you on Wednesday and then 2 hours back.  Say hi to Sky Harbor for me, though.  Sure you don't wanna fly back through on Saturday?  We'll just go back to Milwaukee together

  • I smiled a lot looking at the luge video - I would LOVE to do that - I think!
