feliz año nuevo!!

hola!!

hope everyone had a very merry christmas. mine flew by in a whirlwind of family, way too much food, bubbly and lawn darts. can't believe there is only one day left of 2006!!!! time for a bit of reflection.... what a RAD year this has been. i have had the best time being back home in NZ, and am so happy that i made the decision to return from japan 6 months ago. and if this has been a good year, then i think next year will be even better!! i have some big plans :) which have changed quite abruptly over these last couple of days... i am no longer going to japan next month as ger has been re-assigned to calgary in canada. was a bit stressed for a day or so rushing around trying to get tickets to canada last minute, and cancelling the japan ones... but we're all sorted now, and we should be shivering our butts off over there in the beginning of february! i am extremely excited about the new destination :) i really like pancakes. and i've never seen a moose before!

hope you all have a rad day tomorrow - savour it like a chocolate eclair. and have a super new years!!! (i'm heading out to patau with kiff and some friends, and am so thankful that andi can still make it after her terrifying ordeal on the motorway in auckland. she's a lucky girl that one.) catch you fullas next year! YEAH!!! :D

lots of love,

look out!!!...


... dana has her licence!!!!!! scary, but true :)

it's been a long time coming (and is still only my restricted) but it feels damn good. am even thinking of buying a car when i get back from south america... depending, of course, on how long i'll be back... ;)

just wanna say a MUCHO GRANDE GRACIAS to debs for all her incredible patience, and to pa, for actually letting me drive his precious wagon in the test :)

WOOOHOOOO!!! i'm all grown up!! ;D

bursting with joy...


... because a dream is FINALLY coming true! today ranga and me went and BOOKED OUR SOUTH AMERICA FLIGHTS!! south america, here we come!... on tuesday 27th march 2007 :). we have 12 month tickets, so let's just see how long the money lasts. i really cannot believe it's actually really truly happening. i have been longing to explore the amazon for years!

and i'm off to japan for a couple of months on january 20th :) (coming back to nz just in time to fly to buenos aires). will just be chilling out, getting a new perspective on that bizarre place, and maybe (hopefully!) teaching some private english lessons.

just try and wipe this smile off my face! here's to 2007! bring it on!! yeah yeah yeah! :D

love to all and hope you're all excited about christmas - yay! :)

besos,
