arrival in Paihia, New Zealand Jan 11, 2010

Count down to take off


Yes, in two days we leave for New Zealand, get a needed break north of Auckland for 6 days, then start the venture back into Papua New Guinea. With the entrance of 2010 we have begun this new blog, trust you enjoy it and that we will have points in time to make entries while on sabbatical.
