HI there Great wide spaces and places with people I know and love. I made it to the NorthWest Spot of all Delights .. Last night After Driving my New Toyota Corona, Nearly 500Kilometers, I found the exact place I wanted to go to.. The Old Slaughter House..IN HECTOR NEW ZEALAND, up on the Hill Built 10 Years ago./. Just Fabulous.. I will Be drving back out there today as I had to come into town to plug into the tech world and let you all know what is happening.. the drive was wonderful over Arthurs Pass and the rains are here and everyone else has something bad to say about them but ME>> i love this stormy coast weather.. the sound of the surf so magical.. I am in a tiny spot and loving this environment. Thinking about staying thru Christmas will see how things work out.. Best of wishes and love Melisa

After packing some of my things better inside there proper bags i am going for it.. I will be heading through newzealand cutting the south island in half in the northern central area which dumps me out at greymouth and there i will be heading north a bit to go stay at the old slaughter house . apparently it is right on the beach and they have New Foundland pups.. DUDE I am so there! Any way best of the Christmas stuff. LOVE MEL

YES, Let the journey Begin. I was invited to a private company christmas party for the people of Macpac, very nice place to party and relax with my friends before hitting the open road. I AM HOPING for a smooth ride in my old clunker. Best of holiday wishes, love mel

Today was well spent with tour-walking around the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch, then ending up with a nice Nor' wester Beer from DUXdeLUX that weighed in at 6.4 % Yummy.. the garden was great.. walking around massive sequoias and hemlocks and oaks and pines.. shit I was missing home and then stood underneath a gigantic hemlock and lost it .. all emotions and feeling stirring and then the little cone on the tip of the Branch arrangement ..was strring right back at me and wow... oh man .. I thought I was home.. but then realized I am wearing a tiny tank top and its December 12Th and the sky was blue and the temperature was down right muggy and hot.. funny .. but .. very good time lapse. anyhoo. I am still here and chomping at the bit to carry on and be very busy with travel.. because the busier I am the less i have to think about .. only getting to and from places.. great distraction travel is. best of wishes. love melisa

The season is right , if only for an hour or two but, it is very hard to tell that its christmastime.. I have heard a couple carols and, oh boy I do love them. I am still In Christchurch in the Port hills area and it is a lovely place. I am learning about the bottle shops that have many many varieties of fresh brew and all one needs is the two liter bottle and whamo they can have a fresh beer for the road.. but of course not to be consumed whilst driving .. obviously people. any way . have a great day, stay dry and fresh. melisa
