Just a quick bit of news..... as most of you know, I head Stateside once a year to catch up with friends and family. I always time this aroundmy B-day and Holmes Safari (the greatest party in the world). It is also, conviniently winter in NZ and summer in New England! Anyways, although I have gotten pretty good at trying to visit as many of the crew as I possibly can in a one month period.... I've decided that going three years with out Thanksgiving dinner or a proper x-mas is too long. This year I will be arriving back in New England on July 15 and heading back to NZ Dec. 28! I look foreward to getting to spend a bit more time with all my friends and fam back home.
