I AM BACK
Hi everyone. We are back from our wonderful holiday in New Zealand, exhausted but happy. It is the most beautiful country and we enjoyed all of it. I will post details after christmas as I have a million things to get done before christmas. I had a wonderful meeting with Emily and I think we could have chatted the night away. She is a lovely girl with a positive attitude to life. Thank you Emily for coming to meet me. This was definitely a highlight of my trip.
On the skydiving front it was quite a let down. I went off all prepared at 7am on a beautiful sunny day in Queenstown. We went through all the preliminaries and then to the airport. There we sat in the sun beside the plane for 2 hours. I was very excited and not scared at all. Then they cancelled it because the clouds would not lift from the mountain top. Obviously I was extremely disappointed. Actually felt like crying. As we were leaving the next morning for the glaciers I couldn't reschedule. (weather turned bad for a few days anyway so they would not have gone up) This dive meant a lot to me so this was quite a let down. However I did do a lot of other exciting things including quad biking and swoop diving (a bit like bungy but not as bad) I will explain in a later holiday post with photos. We had a very busy schedule and for most of the trip the weather was kind to us. I feel energised mentally if not physically and ready for the new year and the challenges it will bring. On the eating front I unfortunately succumbed and ate everything in sight. I did exercise and make use of all the gyms (lots of early morning trips while Dh and Ebs were sleeping)and I am not going to weigh myself till after christmas when I will make a fresh start. My clothes are tighter so I have gained but I did enjoy myself and that was important.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year. This is a special time to share with friends and family and it is amazing that we now have so many new friends to share with. I feel very blessed to be part of this community. I hope this time is filled with love and laughter for you all. Enjoy the day and forget about weight worries. We can all get together and get back on track in 2006!
Love to you all
Your friend Michelle
