Ready for flight

Apparently my blogs have been so great hardly anyone else has done so. Michelle hasn't put anything up since before xmas. Paulo since the 11th. Whit for a few days. And so on and so forth. What a lame phrase.

I made my way down to Queenstown. Its like the Aspen of NZ. The mountains still have snow. Today I watched the second LoTR movie then went outside and looked around like, "hey that was in the background." I also got to play a solid game of Futball. I was sucking wind for the first 30 minutes just getting use to exercise in at a higher altitude. Tomorrow I gear up and make it to the Nevis Highwire bungy jump. Yeah. Like 108 meters. Thats like falling for a football field. More fun. Last night I watched a guy lose about $1000 at a roulette table in under an hour. Crazy.

I completely blew my $9 food budget today. I cooked a solid steak mashed potatoes and green beans meal for myself. It was cheaper than going out at $15NZ. That's like $11 US. Solid work for a good dinner. Tomorrow night I might try for a dinner for two. 1533 days is a while. holy cow, time really gets away from you.
