On Monday night Erin and I headed to the airport to pick up Craig and Lisa who were arriving in NZ for the 3rd month of their honeymoon. Yes that's right, they are on a 4 month honeymoon, pretty good deal if you ask me. For those who don't know Craig is from Bedford (my hometown).
We picked them up at the airport around midnight and then brought them back to our place, caught up for a bit, but Erin and I had to get to bed as we had work the next day. Craig and Lisa had been travelling for 2 months in Australia prior to arriving in New Zealand and were living out of a van as typical backpackers and were very excited to be staying indoors. On Tuesday, they hung around, watched TV, read some books, and did laundry. We went out to dinner on Monday night to an Irish pub O'Hagans right down the road from our place.
On Wednesday night, Lisa put her Giada chef skills into action and pulled together a wonderful baked ziti meal along with salad. Craig was responsible for picking out the desert at the supermarket and got what looked like a massive whoopie pie (the meal was GREAT!).
It's been great to have some visitors and tomorrow they will be heading off to do a scuba dive up north. They may be coming back on Saturday for another visit, so we will hopefully see and get to hang out with them again when we don't have to go to work.
It's been raining since they arrived, so hopefully the weather will get a little better as they start to travel.

I love the Pono shirt. You guys have the IP spirit in your blood!
We're always sporting the Pond shirts, especially this weekend. Hope the party was a big success. I can't believe I'm not going to get one this year. What were they like this year?
