Here is a tiny look at a moment of our trip in the North Island. 90 mile beach is a strip of beach that vehicles are allowed to drive on during low tide. Most of the drive we were serenaded by John Lennon and David Bowie. It was great.

Our First Week

Happy New Year. We have nearly finished up our first week here in New Zealand. It's been absolutely wonderful. Joanne organized several days at Flaxmill Bay on the Coromandle Peninsula. This is where we stayed for New Years two years ago and it was great meeting up with all our Kiwi friends again. Isaac, the startlingly like-minded 13 year old, stars in our film and gives an informative perspective on the land, people and creatures of New Zealand. We did quite a few things while at Flaxmill, most of which are discussed in the video. Yesterday we took off to Northland (Travis and I driving around in our hot new Toyota Carib '97) to stay with Jo's brother, Neil and tonight we'll stay with her other brother Colin. It is incredibly beautiful in this subtropical area. Will extend further communications soon.

T-Minus 65 hours

Here we are with Chase and Joey at Diana's Parents house in the midst of our grand farewell tour. We have successfully packed all our belongings into a crate and all that is left is that which we can carry. Chase will be delivering us to the airport Monday at 5 PM. Stay tuned for posts that are actually interesting.
