Mid Semester Break Travels

Well kids, I'm saying goodbye to Auckland for 2 weeks and hello to Sydney, Australia and the South island of New Zealand! Mariel and I will be flying out in the morning-the 30th to Australia and spending the week there staying with one of her friends from high school who lives there ( yay for free housing!) It's supposed to rain a few of the days we are there, but we're praying for nice weather:) It's abnormally warm there right now for this time of year so we're hoping to soak up some sun!

On Friday the 4th of September we will fly into Christchurch, which is in the South island of NZ where we will meet up with 5 of our other girl friends! We are all meeting there and have booked the same backpackers to stay in for the night. Then early the next morning we'll be picked up by STRAY bus, and we'll spend the next week or so touring the South island.

I will detail more of the trip, of course when I return to Auckland on the 12th of September! Please pray for us and for our travels, we have been so blessed to be able to be here and to travel around to many places. I'm just so excited!

oh, and here's one picture from this week so I don't just bore you with my babble :)
