Back to back

I know I promised pictures of my fabulous trip, but I have none.  I was laid up on Deanna's couch in back pain while everyone else was off kayaking.  I woke up hurting the day we left and then after a 10 hr drive I was in severe pain the next day.  Good thing I brought a good book as I read that over the 2 days.  Matt came over the first night and made dinner and brought a movie.  The second night I was feeling a bit better and Dee and I went out for a beer and then to Matt's for dinner.  We took 2 days to drive back and stopped at a hot springs.  It was a proper Japanese bath house and rock pools.  I even got a massage so my back was feeling pretty darn good by the end of the trip!  Oooo and I finally got to try out my new tent!  I love it!  Not too sure how 2 people will fit...it'll be cozy!

Where's the bunny?

So now is the last chance to look at all those photo albums I've got posted. All but the very most recent one will be deleted sometime next month. Kodak has changed it's policy and now requires me to purchase something from their online store in order for them to keep my albums online. I refuse and sure don't have the time to recreate all of them on Facebook. So I've decided to just let them go. I'm a little sad, but oh well.

I went to a hockey game this weekend! Oh it was so much fun. New Zealand Ice Blacks kicked some Turkey butt! I want to go to another one today...it's an International tournament. But I've got loads of things to be doing and work to get done. Tomorrow we leave for a camping and kayaking trip to the Abel Tasman! I should have new pics for you next week!

The best news is that I'll be home in August for a visit! Woo Hoo! I'm so excited. I'll be heading to a conference in Knoxville and then I'll be home around Aug 17- Sep 3...I haven't booked my US domestic flights yet. Warm MN summer! I can't wait!
