Great Outdoors ~ New Zealand Uno

For those of YOU (Ahem!) who were patiently waiting for the travel shots, let the madness begin. In an effort to not make your head explode, I've decided to split them into a few posts. It's a challenge to revisit these images and not wish I was still dipping my toes in the glacial waters (you'll see those soon enough) of such a an AMAZING country. These are the sights during the first 48 of our trip which range from the milk makers of Kurow, to the Peel Forest and Acland Falls, as well as some terrain near Ashburton. New Zealand Dos...just come back!

I'm sitting here, staring at this screen, still in my state of jet lag. I'm amazed at how easy it is after these trips to be staring at the ceiling at 3:30am, WIDE AWAKE! Besides, for 7 days we lived 16 hours in the future. The flight's for this trip were as follows...Leave Buffalo, Fly to Chicago, Fly to LA, Fly to Auckland, Fly to Wellington, Fly to Christchurch, Drive to Ashburton, and it was worth every moment of hearing babies cry and elderly people pacing the aisle's of the double decker!

We had just a phenomenal trip to New Zealand and are so blessed to have friends like the Matthew's. Not only are they great host's, but they're darn good tour guides as well. From private plane rides over the Southern Alps to Fashion shows at a local school, who could want more! There will be more posts to follow from the trip, but for now, thanks a ton friends and Ruby! (their newest member who is only slightly more aggressive than the other two.)

Life ~ Day #1 *Ashburton*

After 22 hours of travel and 5 flights, we have arrived in this amazing land. Sitting by huge windows with this view, sipping coffee and having an zucchini muffin, create the perfect morning. Ready to explore. Cheers!
