BDO coming soon!!!

In less than a week, Nic and I will be at the BDO in Auckland, rockin' it out with the best of them. We've taken the Thursday (18th) off work too for the long ≈8 hour drive up. And turns out the Monday afterwards is actually the Wellington Anniversary Holiday (each of the 12 regions of NZ has a public holiday celebrating its conception - although, these "regions" actually relate to the former provinces of 19th century New Zealand and are not related to districts or regions of the present day), so we get to relax, and get paid for doing so, after the drive back on Sunday - awesome!

Apart from that, not much new to report on.. More work, more attempting to save money..

Pics have been uploaded for the last post. Also, in case you didn't notice, there's now a map (inspired by Adam and Eva's) of places I've been in NZ. Of course it isn't everywhere I've been, but the main places (in chronological order) so you can see my general route. Some of the tags, for some reason, are nowhere near the places they are supposed to represent.. Interesting.. You'll probably want to click on the map and zoom in on NZ to be able to make out the places.

Again, if you're reading this, feel free to drop me a comment.. Just click on the "# people have had something to say." link below.
