So long nz!

The realization has set it in.
We have just checked in and said goodbye to Amy.
This new Zealand trip is coming to a sudden end.....
It seems like last week that we all meet in atlanta air port and began this journey. 
It has been an incredible trip. The places we have been too, the things we have all experienced for the first time, the friendships we have made and the activities we have all been able to do. We have done so much in the last 20 days!
Looking back on the trip some of our highlights have been, zorbing, learning how to snow board, skiing, Kyle front flipping on ski's, lugeing, seeing a kiwi in the wild and white water rafting!
Some things we are taking away with us from this trip are, the different lingo (phrases), helping out more with packing whilst on trips, different recipes and food idea's, being more aware of my belongings, leadership skills, looking and thinking before asking questions when I have already been given the information, speaking up and being confident when talking to people. 

We had a great night at my mum's last night. She cooked us a nz roast dinner and then we packed our bags and then attempted to watch all of the lord of the rings. So with a few hours of sleep up our sleeves we find ourselves relaxing at our departure gate awaiting our first of 4 or 5 flights (depending on who's flying out of Atlanta)
There is a lot of book reading happening and soon to be some sleeping on the planes. 
We look forward to being back state side but are all very sad to be leaving our Aotearoa, New Zealand!
Thanks for following along with our blogs! We look forward to being able to tell you all, all about our adventures! We might need a couple of hours sleep first :-)

Signing off.
