Cold, Windy, Rainy Goodbyes

the last few days in NZ

storm 45 °F

Hello again,
So its two more days before we head home and New Zealand has been helping us out with some terrible weather, making it easy enough to want to come back to beautiful, warm summertime in the States. At the moment we're staying out at New Brighton Beach, a bit outside of Christchurch and enjoying some lazy inside days. While the rain, wind, and hail from time to time act enough of a deterrent to keep us from going out too much we have been down to the beach a few times, mostly to hang out on the pier and watch surfers.

It has been an amazing three months here, and I can't believe its practically over. I suppose this will be the last real post on this thread, I'm guessing nobody is going to want to hear about the 10+ hour flight back (here's a taste...we read a little, then we sleep a little, maybe some Flight of the Conchords around meal time, bit more napping, then I get up and pace around the back going stir-crazy while ev sleeps some more :o) Thanks a bunch to anyone who has actually been reading this thing :o) Hope it inspired at least a few people to want to come out here, I know I hope to come back (We have an actual list of hikes still left to do). Tuesday May 26th is the day, 6pm is the time. Hopefully see you all soon.
much love,
nicole and everett

And WE OUT!

0 °F

We are now on the way to New Zealand and soon hope to be updating this thing regularly with many exciting tales :o)

Despite leaving this afternoon we won't be arriving in Christchurch untill 9am saturday (NZ time) So we lose something like a day and a half in this direction, crazy.

It's only taken a month of obsessing, and now we are ready to go.

The Countdown Begins...

So its official, the tickets are booked and we're thinking about packing the bags! On February 26th at 7p.m. Everett and I will be departing from San Francisco International Airport and arriving some ridiculously long time later in Christchurch, NZ.

Anyone who's been over there, has some "can't miss this" tips or any helpful info to share, we would love to hear it...
