Well I wish that I had some amazing news that would make this blog entry incredibly interesting; however, I don't. For the past two weeks I have been saving money and energy (in fact I don't think I've spent a cent in the past week (rent excluded). So for all of those of you worried about my financial situation I should be able to make it home alive... with all of my organs! I suppose I could give you a heads up though... on the 4th of March I fly to Melbourne (my favourite Australian city - to date) for a four day visit... then I fly over to New Zealand on the 8th for roughly four weeks... haven't quite decided on the length of the stay yet. I was a little concerned about having to finance travelling around both of the islands... that was until I checked the KiwiExperience website... they do hop-on hop-off tours (for some reason I think I have told you about this already... but I will continue anyways) I got it on sale for $500 and I will get to visit: Auckland, Mercury Bay, Rotorua, Waitomo, Taupo, River Valley, Wellington, Picton, Nelson, Westport, Lake Mahinapua, Franz Josef Glacier, Wanaka, Queenstown, and Christchurch to name the major stops. There are also a few day trips so this is sure to be an action packed month (one of the reasons I am resting up). I have already made contact with some friends of friends and am quite excited to meet some true locals and here their experiences of their country. After that month (I'm anticipating the 4th or 6th of April) I will fly over to Brisbane and do another hop-on hop-off bus trip down the East coast. This should take me up to the beginning of May and that will give me enough time to relax and enjoy Sydney before I fly back to SK (by the way the snow had better be gone when I get there)! I finally can check my e-mails on a regular basis (hint hint).... Take care and I'll post again when I don't feel so repetitive.

Grandpa was just saying you hadn't posted in a while! Sounds very exciting, even if it doesn't feel like it to you. We will do our best to have all the snow gone for your return. Lori and Rob said they gave you James' contact info, Lori says he is a super nice guy and Rob says he knows a lot of people so if you have questions he is the guy to ask. Its hard to believe you are talking about coming home, I really thought somehow you'd end up staying, maybe was afraid you'd end up staying.... I miss you a lot, I know you're a grown up and all but you'll always be my BB! Love you and see you soon! Oh yeah, enjoy the rest of your trip!
Yeah...not much to talk about so I feel bad about blogging. I hear they fixed my precious car... haha what a gong show that has become... Yeah I e-mailed James and I have a place to stay in Christchurch and a ride to the airport! So he lives up to his reputation. I will be coming home don't worry...maybe not as soon as you would like but I'll be home all the same. Take care... talk to you soon.. and when you start to miss me just think of me not cleaning up around the house and the feeling will pass!
He will be in good hands in Christchurch. I am so glad he made that connection! Yay, Ry! Hope you have fun! Love n hugs,
