Today started off with a jolt as we slept through our alarms, waking up suddenly at 7:30. We were able to shower and change and be out the door within 30 minutes which was a good record for us.
Our evening was much more relaxing as Deon and Steve (who are in NZ on secondment from the PwC office in Hartford) wanted to take us to dinner to say goodbye. Steve is off to a work training so he'll miss our leaving drinks on Thursday night. They very generously treated us to a wonderful dinner at Mikano, a restaurant on the harbor. We stuffed ourselves with appetisers, main courses and desserts. Then Steve and Deon gave us a bag filled with NZ treats like Tim Tams, Pineapple Lumps and Crunchy bars that we will take home with us. We really enjoyed sharing our last 6 months in NZ with Steve and Deon and will miss them a lot! They will be here for another year and a half, so be sure to check out their blog: http://onlyinnewzealand.blogspot.com/
When we got home from the feast, Jeremy had a very nice message on his phone from another one of our friends, Nate. Nate is here from the Pittsburgh office (and mad that I've converted from a Steelers to a Patriots fan) for two years. He'll miss our farewell party as he's off to Samoa for work tomorrow morning. We have enjoyed spending the past 6 months with Nate and will miss him a lot too. Check out his blog for some more NZ adventures: http://2yearsinkiwiland.blogspot.com/
Tomorrow is our third to last day of work which is hard to believe. Tomorrow night is our "free" night but it is our chance to pack our bags for travelling, so we will definitely be busy!

You guys are the best!!! I'm not sure how you are still blogging with all the moving craziness going on - so impressive.
Thanks for an amazing time at Mikano . . . and for the kind blog post!
Oh, and I am already enjoying the beautiful plants. I hope they like their new home. I'm sure Steve will break in the BBQ very, very soon.
