Janet & Paul's Visit from NZ!!

OK, so this doesn't have to do with Janet and Paul's Visit, but this is my temporary and very cool roommate Megan showing off her melon's

I used to scrub toilet's with Janet in McMurdo.  They now live in Takaka, NZ.  Paul is a native Kiwi, and Janet is a transplant from Tennessee, but has lived there 22 years.  Here they are at Sherwin Lake.

Chico (Megan's Dog) and Oreo (aka Hydrox)

Ran into Gilann Bourne and Marty along the way to Valentine

Valentine Lake on a pristine day.

Paul is a plane fanatic.  My friend Jill made it happen for them.  They were able to go up in this little Piper Arrow, it was Paul's 247th different type of aircraft that he has flown in .

Andrea and Jill, best bud's.

Janet praying she doesn't toss her cookies.

Andrea and Paul checking everything out.  Andrea owns her own flight school in Santa Barbara, Spitfire.

See how low they are, they were trying to get lift, but it was really hot and high altitude.  I actually was supposed to go, but they probably wouldn't have been able to get off the ground, no, for those of you who haven't seen me, I have not gained toooo much weight!

Happily on the ground once again!

Paul documenting his flight.

Hiking to Gem Lake.

Gem Lake, doesn't do it justice, water is crystal blue....
