Pretty good fun. Wasn't even that scary. The moment when your bum leaves the plane is a bit of a "omg what have I done" moment but you're soon in the swing of things and flying high enjoying the ride. Whooooooooooooooshhh!!!
What adventures will I find myself on in New Zealand for three months? Stay tuned to find out!

Jason it's official you are now one year older. Yeah!!! "Happy birthday to you" etc. I hope you have a fabulous day and that your wish comes true.
Can't wait to see where you have been, Intrepid Dr. Root.

Happy Birthday Jake! Hope you saw the fireworks we ordered. (They guaranteed they'd set them off today, but it is hard to confirm from here.)
You look quite adorable in the goggles and hat, or perhaps just goofy. Either way, it works for you.
Zorbing was a surprise. Skydiving and rafting and such we've at least heard of (not that we've done any of it.) What next? Maybe something with big suction cups. Have fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Hi Jake!
Happy Birthday! You gave yourself the gift of flying! How high was the jump?
I enjoy your writings, all the best.
Things here are good, the same.
Love,
Shawnee
PS,
how do you get a title or header for a posting?

wow, thanks guys for all the comments. I sent the letter but haven't gotten a reply. But if Shawn did see PJ in Hermosa, then he's prolly busy preparing for the premier of King Kong. Birthday was fun. Had a little fireworks display. Played lots of a cardgame called "shithead" which is rather fun.
The jump was from 12,000 feet. My money sure is going fast but it'll still be some time yet before I'll be anywhere close to running out. It's better I get the extreme sports out of the way now while they are cheap in the North Island vs. in the South, although I'll prolly do them again anyway!
Not sure why we had to wear the hats. I thought they looked kinda bad ass, but I was mostly the only one who thought so.
This was actually the first birthday where I actually felt different the next day. Maybe it was the skydive. I liked the Steinbeck quote.
Shawnee, to get a Blog Title go to www.blogger.com and sign up with your own blog. The site will guide you through the process. You don't need to start a blog, but buy registering with the site you then get a display name so you can post as other than anonymous.
Love you guys, I'll have more shortly!
Steffen, the louge wasn't all that fast. But by the third run I had a good sense of the limits of the cart and improved my line to pick up more momentum. Prolly got up to about 25mph - lotta twisty turns and narrow track.
I haven't gotten much good footage of yet, actually. Mostly landscape at this point.
