This is a tricky thing to manage....and critical to the success of your holiday. Being travel compatible just takes the hassel out of pretending you like being around someone, still, after a few weeks of close quarters. Which can be exhausting if you know what I mean. Pete and I are pretty compatible travelers. I bet we'll still drive each other mad at some point, but it's bad at all! For instance yesterday, the 23rd (cause we're just a little less than one full day ahead of the states) we wanted to go up the gondola to this hilltop where there are stunning views of Queenstown and the lakes. So we look it up in the guidebooks and discover, much to our sadistic delight, that there is a trail also! This does two things for us: (1) we save the $21 NZ that the ride up costs, and (2) we get in a workout. Woot woot. The trail was pretty steep and took us about 40 minutes (the guidebook said it would take an hour but we're speedy. Like a cheetah). Silly lazy tourists and their gondolas. Up at the top there was a luge ride...think longboard on wheels on a concrete path. If we hadn't of just lept off a bridge earlier that day, it would have looked daring and fun. But it just looked like hokey. We were too cool for the luge.
Shopping makes me happy. I know how materialistic and sad that sounds but it's the truth. I was feeling sad about missing the holidays with the ol' Kell Bell, Scotty, and Wade....I needed a pickmeup. Like a smoker needs a cigarette when anxious. I was in need. So I picked up a great little blue sun dress with a brown belt to match. and new cheap sunglasses. I still miss my fam and all, but I feel a little bit better now :)
