home

I am home. After 3 and a half months in New Zealand, I am home.

I am also totally disorientated!

I saw a church on the ride back from the airport and my first thought was 'look at that amazing OLD building.' It was like I had never seen something old before. It was also a shock to see winter with people buttoned up in coats. In NZ, the children are just going back to school after their summer holiday.

My flights back were extremely long and painful. But when I flew from Christchurch to Auckland I was put in the first class lounge as a treat, and there was a very good looking group of cricketers there(they were a regional NZ cricket team). I am afraid to say that I didn't flirt with a single one of them, however, because they were all very arrogant. But it was still fun to see them as I browsed the buffet.

I feel very lucky to have experienced such an incredible treat of a trip. It was a much needed and special trip and it has done it's job of giving me a break from winter, putting some fun into my life after experiencing a lot of pain last year, and giving me time to make some decisions about the future. I now have 1000+ photos to sort through and put into albums, e-mails to write, people to visit and sleep to catch up on. Thank you for joining me on my travels.

yawn. My dog is currently sitting on me. I don't think she will let me go away again for a good while yet. ;-)
