Sorry For The Delay

I promised I would finish the trip posts soon, but I was without my beloved internet all day today, soI spent it in the corner sobbing and rocking. It just popped back to life so let’s see what I can get done…

Let’s All Move To Queenstown

Let me tell you now before we can’t afford it, Queenstown had to be the coolest city in New Zealand. Forget about any California city, we need to get in on this while it’s hot.
We drove there and couldn’t get over the views. The whole way to the city was a road along the coast […]

We’ve Got Pictures!

Start scrolling through all the trip posts, I’m working on adding pictures all day today!

How’s That Book?

Well, to update those of you that were wondering about that book I made this big deal about for 30 days…
I finished it, as far as that contest goes. And I even let my mom read it. This might come as a surprise to you, but she was very supportive.
So, all that’s left now, is […]

Happy Birthday!!

So I know it’s been a little crazy over here at somegosoftly, but there’s been so much going on!!
It’s been a lot of fun reliving my trip through the little posts about it. To be sure, there’s so much more that there aren’t words for, everything was so beautiful and life changing. There’s not enough […]

Back Where We Belong

I’m home! What an amazing month. I figure the easiest way to do this is post as if it happened that day. So keep an eye out all day tomorrow, as I update my travel journal. Fortunately they shut the city down, I have nothing better to do!

The Last Day

San Fran was freezing when we got in. We showered up, and hey, in true hard core fashion, took the BART from the airport back into town and went to a bar with the Ryans. It was as though the month hadn’t hardly passed at all. We told them about the trip, and got to […]

Call It A Trip

There was this drive, we had to make it back from the Mt. to get on a plane back to Auckland to get home. At about 6am, we left the silliness that is the little town at the bottom of Mt. Cook.
Did I tell you NZ has 4 million people? 40 million sheep? 80 million […]

I See You, Mt.Cook!

I woke up without an alarm because there was this thing, I’m pretty sure it was sunlight that got me all excited. I ran to the back patio, and yes, in the distance, there was the top of a giant mountain. That’s why he booked three days. It was worth it. Basically. I mean, well, […]

Mt. Cook Is Going To Get A Beatdown

Seriously, to wake up and still not be able to see this thing was getting to me. It’s the biggest mountain. Can we see it before we leave? I mean, I’m fine with the napping and all, but, that was a long drive. We could have been hanging out with JB.
At breakfast, guess what happened? […]
