A Quick HELLO...

It is about 2am on Saturday night...why not "give it a go?" Result...a slow, unsecured wireless connection that looks like it could kick me off at any moment. That being said, I just wanted to take a few moments to say hello and to let you know that everyone continues to have a fabulous time. Whether on farms, pitching in with meal prep, chatting late into the evening, or riding around in the vans (just to name a few) the group has really found its groove. Everyone has settled into this thing called travel with ease!

Our farm visits over the last few days have been absolutely fabulous (more info to follow). We arrived late this evening in Queenstown and tomorrow everyone is scheduled to scatter to participate in all kinds of extreme sports...including: sky diving, bungy jumping, rock climbing, and the local canyon swing. Also, a group of 5 will fly at 8am tomorrow to Milford Sound. It should be a spectacular flight over and back and the fiords are ALWAYS breathtaking.

Okay...fading fast and we all know that Chesley is not really keen on this whole thing called sleeping in so I had better run. I believe that the majority of posts regarding our last week's travels just need to be uploaded...the group has been trying to blog regardless is they have a way to get it up or not. Will plan to check with them tomorrow and see what we can do...no promises. Happy Saturday (for you); Sunday for those here.

Cheers, Mary
