I've gotten to see a ton of things in Auckland - The City of Sails - thanks to my awesome kiwi tour guide, Debbie. She has proven that Garth Nutts ROCK the world over.
We got into Auckland Sunday afternoon, after a teary goodbye with my rellies at the airport. Didn't do anything but find dinner and unpack. We have an apartment here, which is very spacious, although the combination washer / dryer is completely beyond our comprehension.
Debbie picked mom and I up yesterday morrning and chauffered us all over the city. We saw beaches, mountains, cattle and sheep. She took us to a couple of high points in the city where we had amazing views - both in daylight and at night. She even took us to the grocery store so we didn't starve! Totally went above and beyond, and we had a ton of fun (well at least I did) playing the "do you have this, do you have that?" game and comparing what we called things and how things were in the states. She was really a trooper.
OH! And TOTAL bonus - I got my dress for the ACM's, and paid about $11.25 usd for it. Score!Today mom and I went to the Zoo, which was fabulous, and I got to feed a giraffe. We shopped and I got the last of my souvenir shopping done. Tomorrow I head home, it's the day I get two Wednesdays. So it better be a good day!
Next time I talk to you it will be from LAX!
P.S. Filled up that 2gb memory card!

Wow...so cool! Hope you took your other memory card, btw! We're very picture demanding. :P
I'm incredibly jealous about the dress, btw.
What an awesome trip and I cannot wait to see pictures, lots and lots of pictures. Also, want to see the dress.

Awwww YAY your 2 Wednesdays!!! I have a feeling they will be good for you!! Unless the 1st sucks... that doesn't bode well for the 2nd.
You must hurry back... I am going nuts without getting to talk to you. Things are way less exciting and less organized with you frolicking in NZ.
Have a safe trip back
