Kia Ora (translation-hello)
Guess where I am......hahahaha....Aukland NZ. I am having a wonderful time and want this vacation to last forever. I suppose everyone says that about their vacations.
Today I swam in the ocean. Now for those not living anywhere near a coast you might understand what a special event this is for me. I grew up on the East Coast of Canada and have lived on the West Coast and have spent many an hour swimming in the ocean. Some may think that the events of today wouldn't mean anything to me.
If you thought that, you couldn't be more wrong. Today I went swimming in the Pacific from the other side. This water was special, this water belonged to New Zealand and the Kiwis were gracious enough to share their little slice of heaven with me.
I swam, I floated and turned all pruney. I parked myself on my towel to let the sun dry me off and then I fell asleep.
Yeah...big mistake.
Until next time

Leavin' on a Jet Plane
There are times in life when I lack the words to describe how I feel. This is one of those times.
Tomorrow I will embark on a journey of discovery. I am going through the air, across the country and over the ocean. I am going by myself. Bringing someone with me would only defeat the purpose of the trip.
I want see new lands and meet new people. I want to breathe in the ocean air from the New Zealand side of the Pacific and listen to the music of her people. I want to embrace Australia as my own and feel her earth under my feet.
To experience all that travel has to offer and hear the stories of the people is something I long to do. So tomorrow I start down the road, hopefully to a better understanding of the world around me and possible of myself.
Pictures will be taken and socks will be knit. Friendships will be renewed and created. Memories that last a lifetime will be made.
And if I'm very lucky, when I get home, I won't find that the kids have taken over the house with DH cowering in a corner.
Until next time
