14 Jackson Street in kiwiland

So our house is quite nice and quant. We staying at a house that is set back from the street is a fairly residential area near a golf course. The house is set on ~2 arce lot with a lot of open space with fruit trees, a tennis court, cottage, shack, and a sitting area. It's really nice. The house is owned by Mike Keefe, who is a private detective, he is a really nice and welcoming man. He gives us free rein over the food and TV (yes we have TV with 20 channels including the rugby channel with non-stop rugby action 24-7). The other 'guests' are Steve (a kiwi), Julianna (a Welshman), David (his Moari son), Harlin (an older man who is a child psychologist on sabadical from NY), and us. Steve is a kiwi fellow from Palmerston North (about 3 hours from us near Wellington) and works at the Forest Services doing computer work. We get along really well with him. Last night we went to a hot spring about 30 mins away. SOOOO awesome. Sitting in a huge pictureque hot tub in the middle of the 'bush' (aka the forest). The spring is up river so you can sit close for warmer water (HOT like 90 degrees) or sit further down stream and have a cool 50-60 degree hot tub. It was awesome. Pictures will be coming. Next, Jullian is a Welshman who seems to be an outdoorsy type. He is out-going and talkative but pretty busy with work. Next Harlin is an older gent who just arrived too. He is a child pyscologist who enjoys a good bootle of wine. He is slightly older and kinda wierd at times. Anywho, we all get along and have had dinners together. Mike is a good cook. He cooks up BBQ and lots of salad. The meat is good for TAL and the salad is good for HSR. SO its been a great situation. More to come. TAL and HSR signing out.

Hey Tim and Heather. I have two questions to ask you. One, how was your flight to New Zeland, and two how is your new house?
