So many people to thank for the priceless memories

Thank you to my dad for convincing my sister to come here. Another BIG thank you to him for financing it. Thank you to my sister for all the talks even if some were hard to muddle through. (note: I sent them an e-mail to thank them) Thank you to merlinlay for looking after B while I was away. Thank you to soccergirl_nz & umbrainfreeze for a fantastic week in Wellington. Thank you to tomergestig_monkey and the other guys who met up with me. It was a an awesome night to end a great trip.

umbrainfreeze took pictures at the rugby game (I forgot my camera) so those pictures should be along shortly. I've not heard a peep from my sister yet so no idea when I'll get those pictures but hopefully soon enough. I've got my airbus ticket, pre-paid my departure fee for the airport and I just filled my tummy with sushi goodness (preceeded by an anti-hystamine of course!) I can't believe it's already over, though I packed it with as much fun times as I could. Here's to the best vacation I've been on in years!

later edit: I came within 16 Kiwi dollars of my goal for this trip. *pats himself on the back for a job well done*
