Films & Memories

Alive & Kickin

My blog heart does indeed pump, just had a period of stillness. As I have recently come upon a few interesting moments, now which I cannot remember, I felt the need to write about them. Thus, here I am saying hello. Hello.

NZ Road

On the road since the 5th of April and will be flying out of Auckland on the 13th. Plan to see heaps of NZ sights. Will be posting whenever I am able. Cheers.

Motley Crew

Finally after several 'leaving parties,' today I had to actually say goodbye to many of my friends and co-workers at the Skyline Restaurant. It was pretty sad to say goodbye. I visited the restaurant one last time to drop off my uniform and sign some paper work and gave away my hugs and well wishes to those working and then headed down the gondola with Andrea to play some soccer with most of the other friends. Luckily I had to rush out of there after about an hour of playing because I sometimes do not do well with goodbyes. I will miss you all and wish you the best this winter and in your future endeavors, wherever they may lead you. Thanks for all the memories.

Routeburn Rain

Please see Andreas Blog as she has been better at posting lately. www.andreafranzen.blogspot.com
This photo pretty much summarizes our trip. Rainy fun!

3 Years

3(sun in Japanese) wonderful years with my main squeeze and they have been amazingly fun and full of excitement and love. I love you baby, bring on the next year!

Weeks 10 & 11

I am a bit late in this post, seems to be the norm these days. Again in quick style so that I can bring you up to speed. These weeks I put in my two weeks notice at work (which is weird to say now that I am no longer working there), I learned a bit of Japanese, watched the exciting NCAA tourny, hiked Ben Lomond Peak, sampled some local brews from the Arrowtown Brewing Company, and began one of many bonding sessions with friends to say good bye and/or spend more time together before we left this crazy town. We have also been getting ready for the Routeburn track - a 4 day backpacking trip we have planned!
