A Sad Farewell...

Well, I'm writing this last post from the airport in Sydney. Our flight boards in about 20 minutes and before you know it we will back home in sunny Southern California. Nothing too eventful happened in the last couple days, we just explored the city and took it easy. Our skydive got canceled because of wind, so our 5th and final try at it failed as well, Megan and I think its a sign.

Well we should be making our way to the gate so I shall leave you with one last farewell from down under, say see you soon, and g'day...

Back in Oz

First and foremost I want to thank the faithful few who still are reading this blog, I know it has been a long and windy trip, and I have fallen behind a few times, but it was always my intention to keep this here site as up-to-date as I possibly could. The adventure is almost at an end, we fly out this Friday, the 20th. I dont know if its felt as fast to you all as it has to us, but fear not, we have a few more adventures coming up!!! Tomorrow morning, at about 9am, I will be waving to you all from 14000 ft (A little goodbye gift I treated myself too)!!!

Just to recap, the last two days in New Zealand, in Christchurch, were calm, uneventful, recovery days that were sorely needed by all of us! We had to say goodbye to three girls we met at the beginning of the trip, it was a sad night, but thats the way it goes in traveling. On the 12th the three of us had flights, but Megan and I had a later flight then Laura did, so we went to the airport with Laura, dropped off our bags, and headed to the the Antarctic Center. The highlight was the simulated antarctic storm, which wasn't that bad, I mean I was wearing shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt, but I guess it was cold for others (Megan was wrapped up like a Christmas present). Thats about all we did in Christchurch, like I said, it was a nice relaxing couple of days.

I shall post at least once more before returning home... so don't give up on me yet!
