Half way point Sammy Tripp

Me neither!

We have booked Sam's return ticket ... she will be back in Canada on Monday July 16th 2012. It's hard to believe that less than a year ago this week we didn't even know she would have the opportunity to take a Rotary exchange. What a difference a year makes in one's life ... in all of our lives.

I have attached some photos from her south island tour (18 days), her holidays in Australia and her Christmas in New Zealand. Hmmmm ... I remember when I went down under, it is the one other place on earth that I truly felt I could happily call home. If only it weren't so far to fly! Sam tells me we can expects LOTS and LOTS of visitors to our home in the coming years - we can't wait!
