Well, it only took me like 11 days and about 15 failed log in attempts but I am finally able to write a new blog. And I have a total of 9 minutes to do so...so I will keep it short. I love New Zealand!

In one month from now it will be the dead of winter here and instead of the dealing with the cold Tacoma rain I will be having fun in the sunny summer weather in New Zealand. Lately, everyone has been asking me if I am nervous but honestly I am too excited to be nervous. I've never been out of the country before (well, not counting Mexico) so this will be a completely new experience for me. I have always wanted to travel and this is one of the top three places on my list, so it’s kind of an extra special trip for me; one that I hope that will eventually lead to many more. There is so much I am looking forward to I don’t even know where to begin.
