Hello,

We have a real internet connection now so we'll try to let you know better what we are up to.

We have been in New Zealand since the 19th of February and are now just getting a little settled. You can see our little art deco two bedroom house in the photo we took a few days ago. This home is on the map below so if you want to find it click on the blue markers. Since we arrived we visited a few towns/cities and the house you see in the photo has only been ours for a little more than a week.

We can be called in New Zealand for the same amount you would pay to call us if we still lived in Urbana. We would like to hear from you. The call gets forwarded here. For those who have skype: add jeremy's email

A while ago we lost our computer hard drive. We had backed up most of our important stuff but not our music. Now we miss our large itunes library we had saved over years. If you want to help us out in this regard try out mojo. This software allows you to share the way you would have before, directly with the people you choose to share with. Find out more in the link.

As far as our plans go we have been working on being accepted in to the New Zealand work force with Jeremy's credentials. This hopefully won't take to long. In the mean time, when we are not trying to plow through the paper work, we've been going around Hawke's Bay to garage sales trying to find the decent necessary items to live in our home. One find was a nice bike outfitted with all shimano parts for the cheap price of $30 NZD.

Below please use the + symbol to zoom in on our map. It is a simple map with markers on all the places we've been in the last couple months. But you can't see them well unless you zoom in.
