Cheers to New Zealand!

by Lindsay Cotter Published: Nov 25, 2011

My ode to John Denver (Kiwi Style)

Our bags/bikes are packed and ready to go. We’re standing here, outside the Air New Zealand door  gate.

 I hate to interrupt Black Friday to say good bye……

So wave to me (us) and smile for me (us). Tell me that you’ll wait for me (us). Oh Babe (bloggers) I hate to see you go.

But we’re leaving…. on a jet plane. Yes, we do know we will be back again.

For now, please follow us where we will go………

Cheers to New Zealand!

See you on the other side of the world….hopefully soon!

        So glad to hear you made it safely! I hope you take all the time you need to become acclimated to your new home. Not only are there are boxes to unpack, but places to explore! You have so many adventures ahead of you, lucky lady. <3

        I'm doing really well, but beginning to feel the stress that come with finals/end of semester paper-writing. Only a few more weeks, and then a long Christmas break, which I'm really looking forward to. The rest and rejuvenation will be wonderful. 🙂

        HUGS!
