Leaving Sydney!

Tonight I am leaving Sydney for Honolulu.  I have had a fun time traveling around New Zealand and Australia for the past 15 days.  I have seen lots of great places from the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch, to the Sydney Opera House.   I have gone through different emotions from sadness of missing both my family back home in Colorado and my new family of friends from my time in Antarctica.    I know that this is normal and I have learned a lot about myself and things that I wanna try when I get back home.  I know that I wanna see more of both New Zealand and Australia and hope that I get a chance again.  I will post pictures and more details about my travels when I get home.  I just wanted to say hi and that I am doing ok.

Back in the real world

I just wanted to make a quick little post today to let everyone know that I am well and safe in New Zealand.  I am currently back in Christchurch for the night before leaving for Wellington in the morning to visit some old friends of mine.  I have now been off the ice for a week and am missing some friends that are wintering there but am also glad that I am heading home soon.  As much as I loved spending time in Antarctica I am happy to know that I will be home in 12 days.  I have discovered a lot about myself in the past 4 months that I am looking forward to working on when I get back home and to see my family and friends again.  I will post pictures from my travels after I get home and have free internet again, till than it will probably be short messages like this one or a long one that I will just copy over.  Till next time.
