"Second star on the right, and straight on 'til morning..."

So long, Neverland... you brought me back to life, by allowing me to enjoy your beautiful country while letting me act like I was 5-years-old again.

'Maori Princess Treasure Hunt' was not a "success" by US standards. But in terms of "the journey"... the trail was completely flooded out due to heaps of rain the area had received the past 48 hours, we walked in 3 feet of water fully clothed at one point, and also slid down a makeshift 30 foot mudslide, so as you can tell it was hilarious.

Then we went to the Clifden Caves (my second time) and looked at Planet Earth glow worms inches from our faces.

I will post pictures once I get back to home turf.

And now I will traverse half the globe in 25 minutes...literally (with the time changes). That's about right if I were really traveling Peter Pan speed, right?


Then in five days I'm headed to Hawaii. Visitors most certainly welcome!


(Oh, and as for a book update, I bought a Tom Clancy novel the size of my head. Perfect.)
