A Kiwi Experience

Oh, well, New Zealand here i come!
Finally, after years of wanting to visit this country that my uncle migrated to, i'm going there! Now! 3 days from NOW! oohh... i can't wait anymore. Weeks ago, as i browse thru all the new zealand sites and maps and reading the Lonely Planet Guide, i was still not believing that i'm going. even when i receive the plane ticket, am still trying to be not too excited. it's now finally here! oh my oh my....
in the coming 18 days, i'll be travelling with juliet, aunty cindy and husband and ju's aunt. erm.... in case u wonder, it didnt really started out as a trip with aunts and uncs. it started with my mum wanting to go with my aunties (oh, maybe it did start with the aunts-my aunts!) and i was brain-washing my mum to go, to go. so, they finally decided to go - yahoo! but then crack! the bad news - they wanna go during the church camp week!! sigh.... i would never miss the church camp! and i dont want to miss it. so, i kind of decide that i'll just travel on my own and be the adventurous woman (tho' freaking out inside) but somehow, i felt as tho God's peace is with me, i mean i prayed and asked God whether can i go or not in the firsts place. So, then God brought Ju who also wanted to go! alrite! now i got TWO Adventurous Women! hehehe....
then her parents wanna tag along..... then her aunt wanna tag along.... oh well....
but nothing can dim this excitement as the days are coming closer and closer!
i'll be landing at auckland, then going to taupo, meeting maori(s) at rotorua, flying south to christchurch, straight to kaikoura's whale watching, oooh... hanmer spring for a spa day out, continue on the lake tekapo, to the famous mt cook, reaching queenstown - m still trying to pursuade ju to do the bungy jump, of course must go to te anau for some glow worm, and the ever recommended milford sound ride, from there, to dunedin to visit a some students and the choc factory, dropping by to visit some penguins at oomaru, back to christchurch for some shopping. by this time, i'll be dead tired but most happy - time to come home! oh, and did i mention, broke and bankrupt? hehehe..... but i'm sure the trip is worth it.
by then, i would have missed my mum horribly - not seeing her for SIX long weeks..... washing my own clothes, eating bread and maggi the six long weeks........................................
