All our bags are packed, we're ready to go...
Wow, almost 4 months ago Australia and New Zealand were just a twinkle in young Justin's eye.
Now we've conquered both countries, it's a pretty great feeling.
I wont drag this blog out. We have a few more days, but with our bank accounts and energy levels running on empty, I'm not anticipating any shinannigans.
We've made it back to Auckland in one piece.
We're spending the night, site-seeing tomorrow and then spending tomorrow night in the airport before our tuesday morning flight.
We are flying to Melbourne Australia, a city we both really wanted to explore but missed first time around.
My main man Phil has been nice enough to give us a tour of his city, and let us crash at his place for a night (or three {-: )
From there we have to make our way back to Sydney for the long journey home. I don't know what's more depressing, the 24 hour flight of the fact that Detroit Michigan is the light at the end of the tunnel.
It's been a hell of a journey. Thanks for reading.

On the road again....
Justin and I have left everyone we've met behind, and we're on our own once again.
We spent the night in Kaikoura, one of the nicest towns I've ever seen.
We rented tennis rackets and played near the beach. With the help of some 'creative scorekeeping', Justin won.
We stopped at a seal colony and hung out with some foul smelling fur seals. I was filming one when it decided to crap all over the place.
All the bus drivers have nick-names for different types of kiwis. People from Auckland are called 'Jafas' (just another friggin Aucklander) or Auckies, people form Dunedin are 'Dundies' etc.
The name they used to describe people from 'Kaikoura' was shocking.... They had been using this word for 3 years, probably offending many people. Justin told the driver it wasn't ok.
We are hopping on a small 4 person plane today, crossing the 'ditch' from the South to North island.
On the way down we took the 3 hour ferry- the 25 minute flight is only 9 dollars more.
It's a pretty leisurely cruise back up to Auckland. Everyone on the bus is broke and partied out, so it's a much more relaxed atmosphere.
I have all too much time to sit and dwell on what the hell I'm going to do when I get home.
Maybe I'll open a Fergburger franchise...
