February 28, 2013-
Jeesh. I keep trying to type "2012" instead of "2013". Apparently my brain still hasn't gotten on board with the new year and all that jazz. LOL!
Where the heck did February go?????
It just came whizzing out one door, flew right passed and made a prompt exit at the next door. Not without some excitement for us in the middle though!
Now, perhaps many of you will remember that last Chinese New Year (or "Spring" Festival as the Chinese here call it…ummm…spring is definitely not here yet! Well, that's beside the point. Okay…getting back to the story now) we were watching and listening to a massive day and night, 24- hours a day fireworks extravaganza. Of the likes I hope to never, ever have to go through again. We decided then and there that would be our first Chinese New Year …and also our last Chinese New Year here in China.
So…where did we go????
We went far, far away….to the land of the Mystic Mountains…I mean is….
NEW ZEALAND
Let me just say- I've been dreaming and wishing and hoping to see New Zealand ever since I was in primary school. And that was a long, long, looong time ago. Actually, I think it's better I don't say how long ago it was….I made end up dating myself! LOL!
Anyway….I'll be posting photos from our TWO week trip there over the next few days. I've even got a new laptop to help me get the job done. No more excuses!
Keep checking back for photos from our amazing trip!
