Good Morning NZ! Well now that I know about your best kept secret, that being your carpentry abilities....do we have projects for you!!!!! Your Van sounds awesome! Doing the work yourselves makes you have a sense of accomplishment too......we could do with a litttle less of that kind of feeling around here ha! I imagine you both will be lots healthier as it sounds like the Kiwis got it right......I sure enjoy reading each entry...it's like the best book, I've got going right now....have a wonderful day! Love up both...hugs around

My advice for today... Take a deep breath, smile and remember everyone will miss you. But this is your journey and God has put everything in place.

Chat soon,

Jaime

Hey travelers.....good morning!!!!!Just wanted to be one of the first to send my welcome to your new home. Also just confirmed that Brandon did make it to Ocean Side last night and Breanna rumbled into the "ghetto train station" with her big F250 pick up and was united with Brandon about 12:30AM. They got home, checked on the goats and this morning everyone is happy! Brandon's first question to me this morning was ideas on how to go about finding his luggage and his second question was " what about my banana bread?" Your dad is off to work and we are all looking forward to hearing about your arrival in New Zealand. Take Care-Rest up and talk to you soon!

Much Love, Mom/Cheryl

God luck, may fair winds and following seas be with you!

Your pal at Keyport
