At least he didn't say I look or act like a grumpy old man! I decided that it would be wise to go get some meds to have for the kids and myself since we have a very long flight home. Sinus troubles and airplanes are not a fun mix!
We have 2 more full days here and then it's off to America via Sydney on Sunday. The beauty of our time difference is that we leave here early Sunday and get home Sunday afternoon. And then be in a fog for a few days :)
We have been staying in a house in Queenstown with another amazing view. This is the adventurous part of our trip where Tim was supposed to go bungee jumping but it looks like that won't happen this time. We did the crazy jet boat ride on the Shotover River. Tomorrow we have hopes of taking a helicopter to Milford Sound. The weather looks good so far - we are keeping our fingers crossed that it is a go!
It's been lots of fun but we are all looking forward to coming home and seeing everyone, having great (unlimited) internet, California cab's and our favorite foods that we can't get here. Ryan scored a Dr Pepper at special shop yesterday. I think that was the highlight of his day.....although he didn't blog about it :)
We have been enjoying some wonderful wine the last few days thanks to Jack and Lil. Big plans for the Shiraz with a good steak tomorrow night, Jack! The Pegasus Bay Pinot was superb. Well, they all have been great so far!
Saturday brings us to Wellington where we get to go visit our soon-to-be newest member of the family. Actually, I think he has already been adopted into the fold because he is such a great guy - this would be Matt. Erin is off working in another part of the country but it will be fun getting to see Matt.
Oh, and the James Bond movies that we have been watching are the 6 Roger Moore ones. I picked up the 2 volumes at Walmart for $10 each.....the kids LOVE them. We are on the final one - Octopussy. Kylie has figured out which are the good girls and which are the bad ones based upon how quickly James kisses them in the movie. The bad ones he "kisses" near the beginning the good ones at the end. Next trip we need to start at the beginning with Sean Connery - I have a feeling those sets will cost more money.....I think the Pink Panther Movies would be fun too!
David & I are also James Bond fans, with Roger Moore being David's favorite Bond. Connery's are also good:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad y'all have had an AMAZING & wonderful trip! The Caver family will also be very excited to see all of you once you get back home & have some time to re-adjust:) This weekend starts Spring Break & we're not going anywhere, so maybe we can get the kids together for a play-day next week:)
