Wrappin' it all up. :)

Well, I'm sitting in my hostel's computer cafe simply waiting for our time here to come to an end. Kelly and have officially seen all of Auckland that is within a reasonable walking distance, have easily shopped in over 50 shops, and can think of nothing better to do than to sit on the internet.

The past two days were quiet, but a blur. :) Yesterday we were planning on going to a ropes course out of town but changed plans because it would've cost us a FORTUNE to get out there and back. Unfortunately there was no form of public transportation to it, and a cab would've cost a ridiculous amount to drive us there, wait, and drive us back. We decided it wasn't worth it and chose to sleep in, and have a super relaxing day. Last night we went out to supper with Dave (another one of the MSU teaching students) and his brother Tom who was touring Australia and NZ with him. They were nice enough to treat us to a beautiful meal on our last night out of the country.

Today - we start our trek back! Hard to believe that after never flying before this trip - once I return to MN, I will have flown 9 TIMES - two of those flights being 12 hour flights! Rosine will be picking me up from the St.Paul Domestic Airport at approximately 9 o'clock tonight (Tuesday). It's also simply surreal to look through my pictures and relive all of the amazing things that I've done and seen! This definitely was the trip of a lifetime. Before it - I was pretty undecided, and could care less about people studying abroad - but after experiencing it for myself, I can see how getting out of your Comfort zone and taking the NEXT step can really make you grow in ANY profession, and traveling is the best (and most fun) way to do it!

Hope you have all enjoyed reading my blog. It certainly has been fun to write it - and an EASY way to keep up with everyone! :) I'm looking forward to seeing you ALL again soon! :)

I hope you all have
