Time slipped away during my last month in New Zealand as I was busy sailing, kayaking, rock climbing and saying my goodbyes to all my wonderful family and friends. I've been in America 5 days and am busy reacclimating myself to American society (and weather) and enjoying the warmth of being surrounded by all the love and homecomings from my family and friends. Once my bags are fully unpacked, my sleep schedule and energy level is back to normal, and after I've finished de-frosting, I look forward to writing another one or two posts and sharing more beautiful pictures from the end of my journey. Then, I will continue on in 2011 carrying with me all that I've learned and added it to the rest of my journey and new adventures (that are most definitely not finished). Thank you to all of you who have traveled with me during my year in New Zealand, and check back soon for the final few posts culminating all that I learned and what it was like to create a second home across the world that has ignited something inside of me I know I will keep aglow forever.
