Heading out

Just a quick post as we are about to leave to go to Milford Sound for the next 2 or 3 nights. Stephanie doesn't work again until Thursday, so we have some flexibility with how long we want to stay. The plan is to drive out there, find a place to stay, then figure out what to do. Not much of a plan, really. We're also hoping to stay one night on the Milford Track, but we haven't been able to figure out yet how that will work since you have to take a boat to get there. Should be able to get more info once we're out there. Here is a picture of Milford Sound that I stole off the internet. Hopefully we'll get some good weather like this.

Also, I had a bit of a "small world" moment the other day. There was another riverboarding training session a couple weeks after mine. This week I met a few of the guys that had taken that course. One guy is from Ireland, another from New Caledonia (island somewhere above NZ in the South Pacific), and another is from the US. "What part of the US?" "Atlanta" "I'm from Atlanta too" Turns out he grew up in Buckhead, went to Wesleyan, graduated same year as me, then went to school in Texas and has been there ever since. He and his wife are in New Zealand until February. Pretty cool to meet somebody from back home. Apparently there was another guy on the course from LaGrange, but he quit. Be back in a few days!
