The "Green Island"

We only had to walk to Tara's and Al's backyard to understand one reason New Zealand is often called the "Green Island." Vibrant and different plants, flowers & trees inspired LOTS of pictures of the unique beauty on our 2009 trip. Successfully adding the slideshow of NZ Flora and Fauna Picasa Album of pics proved to be a real challenge but I hope to continue to edit this blog with our iPad2.

Skype call with Tara & Al to plan our trip

Finally figured out how to add a picture from the iPad. Publish picture as draft via email, then edit draft. Even had to add HTML to get text to wrap. There should be an easier way. Good thing I understand some HTML.

NZ Return Trip Planned

December 2009 we return from New Zealand never dreaming we would return so soon. . . . but that is the plan. If Tara & Al are crazy enough to ask us to join them for a camper van tour of the North Island, we're crazy enough to go.

Technically we will celebrate or miss our 45th wedding anniversary as we skip the date somewhere over the Pacific Ocean.
