The Conclusion

I've been back for at least 48 hours.  On the plane ride on the way back I came up with my best of for my trip.

Best moments with each Mac

Tyler Rose: getting to meet her.  I really enjoyed just talking to her when everyone was busy.

Mackenzie: hanging out and talking before getting up on our last day in Rotorua

Keanna: nothing beats our giggle fest in Rotorua, except all the other times we started giggling and couldn't stop

Andrea:  sharing our birthday ties with all our discussions

Roger: late night talks that result in this:

For me the next day

Or 

Sunrise at Red Beach

Favorite Museum: 

North Island Rotorua 

South Island Otago Settlers Museum

Best Beach

West Coast Muriwai

East Coast:  Red Beach wins for the sunrise

Craziest thing I did recorded on film:

Tie between my feet in Lake Taupo

And swimming in the warm river:

Favorite Airport: Christchurch

Favorite flight: SFO to Auckland 

Favorite drive:  any in Rogers's car

Favorite Meal: ribs in Paihia

Favorite Pudding: Keanna's Lava Cakes (I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it!)

Favorite Nap:  any in Rogers's cushy chair 

It's way more comfortable than this

Favorite Getting Wet moment: my last day sprinkle by Mackenzie

Favorite Gift I bought for someone at home: I can't wait until Sawyer gets his gift.  It has to do with:

Favorite Melody Moment:  creating the term a "Melody" which means you've spilled your food on you.

Favorite Purchase for myself: charm bracelet

Favorite gift from the Macs: family charm

Only regret: not finding a sheep farmer or pilot to marry so I wouldn't have to come home
