So we're in France and I just have a few minutes for a post. i still can't get my regular email...it was no problem in NZ so i didn't think it would be this time....oh well. so let's see...train ride yesterday from Amsterdam to Paris. An extremely long walk (for me) to the hotel with all our luggage. Once again the room...not so great...but ( Read more... )

Yup...that is correct people. We took a quick walk through the Red Light District last night. We were with friends who live here and so I figured it would be best to go with them. But I'm getting ahead of myself. So the first night here, I didn't sleep so well. We had the window open for air and there is some club playing music non stop...i'm ( Read more... )

Of course we haven't eaten any food yet and we're exhausted but the essentials first right...get to the internet. Well the flights were good...didn't get much sleep...the room we are in is so small...oh my goodness i can't even think of something to compare it to. hmmm....i'll think of something and get back to you guys on that. It looks like ( Read more... )

Well I've still got tons that I need to do before we leave this afternoon, but thought I should at set a new place for my adventure through Europe. I will be traveling with the smallest suit case ever (for me at least). It is a carry on. Christine (who I will be traveling with) has backpacked Europe so I don't think it's as much of a shock for ( Read more... )

So just wanted to say hi. I can't wait to tell you guys all about my trip. Alas, it will have to wait until I return from Florida. I'm trying to get some Christmas shopping in and trying to deal with jetlag at the same time...fun, fun. I'm still getting used to driving on the right. I only drove on the left once, and that was in a parking lot ( Read more... )

I have a feeling that today will probably be my last journal entry. Tomorrow we see Lord of the Rings here, then we head to Christchurch after Shelli gets off work. That will get us in about 8pm, which is no big deal since the sun will still be up. Tomorrow we will see their friend Adam and then tomorrow night we will try to meet up with our ( Read more... )

So I just need to thank Sarah for her lovely entry....i was dying laughing at that one, just thinking about what some of my friends and family are going to think about that one ( Read more... )

So Jackie and Shelli are running back to the hotel to drop some stuff off and then come back to town. I opted to stick around here so that we could get our pictures burned on CD and also my feet couldn't handle anymore walking. Today we drove to Queenstown which took us about 3.5 hours. It was a really pretty drive. Jackie and Shelli went up ( Read more... )

So this isnt' going to be too exciting but i thought that i had a few minutes to write an entry so i would. This will just be a brief summary for the few people who will read this. The first few days were awesome and we weren't sure if they could be topped. Our tour of the glowworm caves was great and that's where we met Richard and Mary from ( Read more... )
