The "Land of the Long White Cloud", is indeed a beautiful place s.k.
(it's a shame it's full of New Zealanders)

I'm just joking ya bloody sheep fondlers!


Hope all goes well with your daughters rugby, you must be nervous as hell sending one of your kids off to the other side of the world.
I worry like an old maid when mine go to school in the morning.
How old is she mate?

Hmmm, ya know, it'd be easier for us to direct our thoughts and prayers towards a safe trip if we knew what she looked like

Do you have a picture you can put up?







Everytime I call my mom and start to tell her something about trees she says "that's nice honey". Maybe some people just aren't wired with the appreciation we have. Thank god that we've got it though at least.

Thanks for the replys,playfordtree and Therrin.My daughter is 16 years old.A big step for her and her teammates(plus the poor coaches,looking after 18-20 girls).Sorry I don t know how yet to put pictures in the comp. yet.The girls get to go to Waitomo caves,New Plymouth,Rotorua,Opotiki and Mt.Maunganui.They play six differant teams down there,hopefully they win one or two games!(I hear the New Zealanders are really good!!!)

Your not wrong Jim.
The All Blacks are awesome!

Every time i see the Haka it sends chills down my spine!

YouTube - Haka - Maori dance

If it had been me instead of Capt. Cook that came to N.Z., i would have taken one look at that, and then turned the boat around and headed somewhere else.

Playford... lol.


S.kerrone, hey that's really cool. Sounds like quite the trip, she'll no doubt bring home lots of great photos, and you can hunt through them for the trees afterwards
