In today's news...
Yesterday, I got on a plane for Tauranga. It is a beautiful town right smack next to the Pacific Ocean. I am up here ready for something new and different; also a job!
My flying experience with Air New Zealand is always awesome. If you haven't flown with them, do it! So, I got on the 50 seater prop plane (without going through security, thank you New Zealand) and if felt I had gone back in time. Everyone was very kind, I could see the door to the Pilot's area, and the flight attendant was a nice young woman that served us tea and coffee. The best part was when she asked a young boy to hand lollies to everyone. Domestic USA carriers need to revamp, because they spoil us here.
My current adventure involves moving to Auckland to live with a good friend of mine. She got me a job working with her Mom filing and such. I'll take it for $16 New Zealand Dollars (NZD)/hour! Come on now! That's the most I have ever gotten paid...even when exchanged to USD. On a side note, the USD is fading quickly. That is sad to watch. After the job is finished, I am back to live in Tauranga with an amazing Kiwi family (the Rosie's for those who know and love them), after which I am back to the YWAM base to staff the next backpacker's DTS. Fun things ahead and many people to get to know and many to say good bye to. I suppose that is life.
another good quote by Anne Lamott to end this small post.
"Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.
