  NZ2003 I paid my deposit for the New Zealand trip today! I sat down w/Dave (the organizer) and he told me all about the trip. The intentions a map of the areas we'll go to and just a basic run down of everything. New Zealand is made up of two islands: the north and the south. We are start at the top of the North in Auckland where 1/3 of the people who live in New Zealand are and then down to the tip of the South where Dave's parents live.
We'll be stopping at different places and towns along the way doing all types of wonderful water and other outdoor activites. He even told me there is a glow worm tunnel!!! I didn't know those things were real! I'm excited if you can't tell. I need to curb the excitment because I still have 7 weeks before the trip. Way to early for a countdown. I'll probably start at the 14 day mark. (smile) Anyway, Oyasumi Diary-san.
