melissa's secret entry :o)

---

hello everybody....this is not caitlin. this is melissa. sorry to dissapoint :o) i am secretly logging onto caitlin's travelblog to put up some of the pictures that were on my camera, and not on caitie's. crafty of me, eh? i know that i love to see pictures, so i figured that all of caitlin's fans would overlook the fact that i am not her so that they can see some more pictures. as i have hundreds these are just some of my favs :o) also i know that everytime i read this blog, i wish for more pictures of what i really care about--caitlin. so i'm including lots of pictures of her for you to see, ones that i'm sure she would never put up on her own. hopefully she won't take them down once she sees this entry!!

all in all, i had a wonderful time, and i hope that everyone makes thier way to new zealand at some point.... it's even better when you leave a boston winter for it!!

my new friend
sorry to shamelessly steal cait's spotlight here, but this fellow came right up. imagine caitlin squeaking and running away as soon as he came anywhere near us :o)

i think the sun agrees with her :o)

a coupla winos at work
this is at #3 vineyard....so we'd sampled about 20 kinds of wine at this point. feelin' pretty good :o)

for the birds
we spent the day hiking around the bird sanctuary in wellington. i think it was called kaira or something like that? it was (big surprise!) lovely.

caitie practices her skydiving
making sure she gets a good pose :o)

getting ready to skydive....
here's caitie and her "tandem master" steve. they did a good job of being huge tools together....

such great hieghts....
come down now, caitie!!

bathing in the thermal springs
here we are in the thermal springs near taupo. they were hot hot hot! too bad we didn't have any wine with us....

so good it SHOULD be illegal
i know that it looks like she's doing something shady, but really this was the night caitie showed me the glory of tim tams! the best cookie ever made. i brought home two boxes with me :o)

late afternoon on the beach
in whaiheke island....it was beautiful!

caitie wind sails
she was way better than i was. the teacher dude told her she was the star pupil!!

fancy dinner out
we splurged, got dressed up, and had a nice dinner out on my last night there. it was delicious, but bitersweet....

I love the secret entry Spencer! And what you wrote, "i know that everytime i read this blog, i wish for more pictures of what i really care about--caitlin," is the most adorable thing I've heard in quite some time! I loved the pix. Looks like you had an amazing time!

Great sneaky job Melissa !!!
Those pictures were the best. Thank you for posting them. I think world travel agrees with both of you. I would make it a priority as you move through life!!! Hope to see you soon Melis. Love, Lisa
