Hello All - As we get ready to depart the south Island we finally have stumbled upon "civilization", a town of about 5000 that offers internet...for a fee. So real quick, everything is going great! we have really enjoyed visiting the South alothugh we both agree it's not a place we would like to live...WAY too desolite and wild, but naturally beautiful with the coastline, Southern alps over 14000 feet, abundant wildlife, and glaciers we can walk right up to! Unfortunately due to our lack of experience and the costs of internet time we are unable to post new pics (we'll try later, there unbelievable!) But travel is tuff...Our camera broke after 3 yrs of loyal service, and after 2 weeks of use Matt's surfboard snapped in half at a gnarly south island break!
We are looking forward to our ferry ride to the Noth Island next week (Christmas Day!) and our concert we have tickets for on New Years! Soon after we will be heading back to our base town of Tauranga to search for a house to hunker down in for the reaminder of our year.
So, from far across the world..Merry Chistmas to All and a Happy New Year!!

Hi Folks,
It was great talking to you! Glad to hear you finally found some signs of life other than sheep. Sorry to hear about Matt's board. Maybe Santa will come through with a gently used one. Enjoy your last week down South!
love, Us
Hey - good to hear an update - I've been checking daily - I heard there was an earthquake in the northern island - everything good where you are? It's snowing heavy around here today - what's the weather on your side of the world. I hope you have a Merry Christmas!!

Hi Guys,
Happy Christmas Eve to you! I am thinking you are celebrating Christmas Day right about now. Is there much celebrating going on around there? I was wondering if New Zealanders get into the lights, music and all. Have a safe ferry ride North.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! love, T+F
Hi Folks,
We were so disappointed that we missed your call! We will try to call you Christmas Day! Any sign of Santa on your side of the world? Enjoy the ferry ride!

Hi Matt & La La ! Thank you for the x-mas gifts, I tried to call on x-mas but got the voice mail. Molly has her bedroom door covered with postcards...looks pretty cool. Frank and Theresa are here, we are celebrating Molly's b-day. We went horeback riding, had a party, now everyone is taking turns playing Wii. I never thought I would see Theresa play a video game !
Be safe...We love you and miss you...
