Been a bit out of touch

Jan. 26th, 2010 at 5:29 PM

I haven't been doing a great job of keeping you guys updated on our New Zealand trip. Sorry about that, especially since it is going to be over in 4 days. But I have cool news.

First, I met Sharon, my net friend of 8 years for the first time, and her husband Scott. The two of them and Julien and I have been touring around the west coast of South Island together and essentially having a fabulous time. I'm so happy that I finally got to meet her in person and that she and Scott are just as great and funny in the flesh as they are online. A picture will be forthcoming.

in the meantime, the other reason I haven't been logging on is because we were in the wilds in Fiordland, seakayaking and camping, here:

with this sexy guy:

Yeah, life is hard.

Current Location:dunedin, NZ

Love that first picture. The texture of the water! The subtle mist effect on the mountains!

We received your postcard, so we've felt in touch :)

Glad you got the card! The NZ post is fast!

The water was lovely. We had really good weather while in Doubtful Sound, only a bit of wind on occasion and no rain.

Gorgeous photos, even if you haven't been gripped by the NZ love yet, I think I have. :p

Hehe, South Island is more what we were expecting. It is a lovely place, especially the west coast. All those turquoise-blue glacier-fed rivers!

Great to hear from you. Looks like New Zealand's summer is treating you well :}

Pretty well. It isn't as warm for a summer as we are used to, though! :P

That is the face of a man definitely enjoying himself. *g*

Yes - you should be sorry! You're on that trip so that you can blog every single detail so that we can live it vicariously. You're not doing it to enjoy yourselves, you know!

Hee - just kidding. Of course living has to take priority over blogging. And it looks like quite the life..... :)

Yeah, I can tell. You were looking awfully guilt-ridden ;-)

hehe. That's why I've kept photos of myself to myself of late. ;) But I'll show you a guilt monkey soon...

I think, under the circumstances, your silence is understandable...

I guess it is, but that doesn't stop me from feeling like a slacker. :P

Gorgeous! And the scenery ain't bad, either. ;-) So glad you finally got to meet Sharon. That's faboo. And I was just wondering this morning, "Hey, I wonder what's happened to Miq?"

Yeah, I was pretty chuffed with it. So fun to meet friends at last!

p.s. Looks like you got out of Machu Picchu at just the right time.

Wow, that's scary. Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) is NOT a place I'd want to be trapped in. So, yeah, def got in and out in the nick of time. Thanks for sharing.

Entrainez-vous bien les biquitos, pour les sorties kayak martiniquaises!
Julien a de plus en plus l'air d'un vieux bouc...hihi, vieux bouc sexy, mais vieux bouc quand même!

Bisous

We're training, we're training, but I'm sure we'd never be able to keep up with the likes of Marlene et ....Regis??? Forgot their names, but I'm sure you know who we're talking about.

As for Julien, yep, he's SEXY!
