LUCKILY....

I'M NOT SUPERSTITIOUS! It's BLACK FRIDAY here.....

We are heading up north today.... The weather is looking promising for a really nice weekend in The Bay of Islands area. I hope we get to see some of the lovely beaches and bays up there.

Time to pack the car and hit the road!

If I can use the internet up there (I think Lacy and Tim have internet)... I will update when I can.

OFF WE GO!

Yaaa, we got here safely!

Fantastic drive up, we diverted over to Paihia in the Bay of Islands for lunch ... there was a big cruise ship in the bay and lots of tourists mingling around... and a small craft fair in a park... so it was really neat. The weather has been a bit cloudy with some light showers, but on a whole ok.

Got to Lacy and Tim's about mid afternoon, and we have spent the afternoon just checking out their home and surrounds. They live in a gorgeous house, surrounded by an orchard/citrus nursery. I am envious .. AND they have a pool..... which is not up and running yet, but will be soon. We are coming back after Christmas to spend more time as it is so lovely here.

End of Day: sorry no photos... I forgot me usb cable... derrrr. nite nite.
