NZ looks amazing
NZ looks amazing guys - you're right along the ocean, it's absolutely amazing. The spider thing creeps me out but it's still interesting to see the local wildlife ;)
Nice Look Bill The envy keeps growing. The adventure of a lifetime seems to be living up to expectations and it has only just really begun. Best wishes and Bill you need a new hair style.
You are making us crabby! Holy WOW!!! Bob wants to know what kind of spider that is? figures! I love shots of the beaches! Take Care!! ps - get a life on the 'send money' thing we are all still trying to get on the plane to get there baby! heehee

It would be amazing to meet up with you folks. If you are in Austrailia, Sydney area, we arrive Feb 25 and leave from Melbourne on Mar 28 for home. Sounds like you are having a great time.
