Fiji and New Zealand

So I kept on waiting for life to slow down a little bit so that I could blog about my trip to Fiji and New Zealand.  But life doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon so I thought that I would post a few pictures that I felt represented the trip.  

 

These were my two traveling partners and I couldn't have asked for better ones.  The trip was completely drama free (except for one little incident at the dinner table between Julie and I but we won't bring up that up again...)  These girls were so much fun to spend time with, the perfect travel partners that we are already planning our next trip together. 

This us at the ice bar.  This picture represents the weather in New Zealand.  Coming from sunny and beautiful california it was quite a shock to get off the plane and it be freezing.  I wore two sweatshirts every day... so if I look fat in the pictures thats what's going on (or it could've been all the white chocolate candy bars that I ate while I was there) It rained a lot of the time that we were there but it didn't stop us from having fun... 

I know that those of you who know me well are shocked by this picture.  I know... I know.. normally I would never let this happen (me touching a dog)  so this picture represents all the new and fun things we did while we were there.  Such as bungying jumping, lugging, tubing through caves, peeling potatoes, letting me drive while on the left side of the road, tim tam slam etc.  (oh... and I just a clarification... I didn't think touching this dog was fun. It was just new and probably not something I will do again.) 

I think this picture speaks for itself.  New Zealand was incredibly beautiful.  There wasn't one place that we went that I thought was mediocre.  Everywhere we looked it was green and lush

This is how we spent a lot of our time.  We wanted to see as much as we could in the few days that we were there for so that included a lot of driving! (PS.. my flat iron had an accident with the voltage there... that is what it going on with the bangs).

This was by far one of my favorite trips that I have ever been on.  More pictures to come.
