Patting eels

For those of you wondering what the eels looked like that were mentioned in the comments section of the last post, here's a pic.

They were very cute!

Am leaving on a jet plane bound for dxb via Singapore in about 5 hours. See you on the other side!

Almost Altogether

The unbelievably beautiful NZ winter weather continues as M moves further south to the top of the South Island of NZ to Nelson.

With the exception of J who continues to travel for business, M’s immediate family – mother, father, 2 brothers, respective partners and nephew - is together to celebrate little bro’s 30th birthday.

We’re staying at Te Puna Wai Lodge which is owned by M’s other brother and his partner. Te Puna Wai is a stunning property nestled on Nelson’s Port Hills and overlooks the picturesque Tasman Bay. The view is a constant source of entertainment with the changing light and various vessels sailing to and fro.

One of the biggest pleasures for M has been to make the acquaintance of her 1 year old nephew whom she last saw as a 6 week old baby in San Francisco in June 2005. He is a joy to have in the family and is blessed with intelligence and good looks! This is one special kid for all of us!
