Farewell Antipodeans

Richard Hadlee, Jonah Lomu, Edmund Hillary, Kiri Te Kanawa...all great New Zealanders, but all pale in comparison to Dan and Fiona.  Unfortunately Fi was on the MBA program with a grant from the Kiwi government that specifically stated she had to return home for the good of New Zealand.  Come on, she's the best ambassador NZ could have over here!  They didn't even have to fund her (vast) entertainment allowance!

We've had a huge number of adventures with our fellow Commonwealth subjects, including freezing nights in Yosemite, teaching the Yanks the real sports of rugby and cricket, and several events that seem a little hazy in my recollection.  Anyway, I have been assured that they will be back around August, hopefully on something more than a tourist visa.  Right now there's an Air New Zealand flight somewhere mid-Pacific that's running out of alcohol...


Dan and fellow Kiwi Sean enjoy a final taste of American "beer".


Cheer up Fi, you'll be back soon!
