Exploring NZ and the nerves are kicking in!

Well hellooooo there!!!!
Ok well I thought I'd do a little post b4 I jet off tommorrow...Yes thats right!!! TOMORROW!!!!!! Nerves only just started kickin in this afternoon...So I'm a bit like WOAH at the moment!! But its all good!!!
So yup what have I been up to since I finished work...well I've been quite busy!!!
In short spent a week up Bay Of Islands (Matauri Bay)...Then came back to Auckland and the next day headed back up Nth again to Waipu for a few days. What was supposed to take us just under 2hours to get there took us SEVEN!!!!!!!
Anyways after that went down to Napier for a few days..and then came back to Aucks to get ready for the big OE....
Well Matauri Bay was basically a holiday with my family....It was cool!
Waipu went up to visit two good friends and their gorgeous son Nathaniel...We all had a BLAST!!
Napier...went down to visit two of my most awesome friends! It was the first time I'd been to Napier! So I definitely had a very cool time! (oh yeah my plane back from Napier almost crashed! I'm serious I almost died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Anyways I'm putting some photos up for those things...Ok if anyone wants to email its [e-mail]
I hope this all makes sense my brains a bit gooey at the mo!!! Its not comprehending much! I'm too nervous!!! Anyways the next post you all receive will probably be from some cyber cafe in New York!!!!!
YAY!!! Take care all!!!!!
