| A trip to New Zealand would be a dream come true! I started longing to visit about 10 years ago. A high school friend and her hubby went on a vacation in Christchurch. They loved it so much, they decided to immigrate. We've lost touch since then, but I kept coming across references to the country. Our community college offers some interesting adult education classes. Two years ago they had one about the indigenous people of New Zealand. It took all of three minutes for me to sign up for that class. I learned so much about the history! I don't watch much American television, I prefer nearly anything overseas. When I came across the show 800 Words, my heart trembled at the beauty. I used to play an online game where I got to know some of the other players in chat. Three of them are in NZ. The more I read about this seemingly magical land, the more I yearned to visit. Until I discovered it would be about $1500 for one round trip ticket. Hubby has no desire to go that far, but no way I could go without Ravyn. I kind of lost hope for that dream, but it's still there. It's just not quite as bright. I know the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, but in this case, it really is! I actually have tons of information and lists of places to visit if I can ever go for real. I bet the Southern Lights are glorious from Stewart Island! Well, it may be 20 years from now, but maybe one day I'll be able to meet Elle in person! |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
