Almost home. I'm just under a week away from going home. I'm pretty cool with it. I've seen everything and done everything I've wanted to do. I missed out on seeing much of the North Island, but I hear it's not nearly as cool as the South Island anyways.

It hasn't hit me yet that I won't see my NZ buds anymore. There're a few I will visit, but definitely not on a regular basis.

It'll be good to see friends and family back home. I can't wait to rub Java's belly. Oh... and I want to ride my motorcycle.

There is one more thing I wanted to do that I haven't yet. I want to snowboard on a real mountain. We're going Friday, so it's all on the level.

I'll be able to tell you guys all of this stuff when I get back home, so I'll see you guys soon. I'm coming home Monday June 26th, but am busy until July 4th. Call me up when I get back and we'll chill. My number is (507) 351-6273... I think. I haven't used it in so long I might have it wrong.
