Travel Hiatus

In response to overwhelming inquiry, I decided to post and let you know that I am currently safe and sound – not dead, dismembered, laid up in the hospital, or being held for ransom as some of you have taken to believe. I have been in Taupo for almost two weeks now and will be for another week before I head to Australia, and for the majority of my time here, I have redefined the term lazy. My days consist of sleep, TV, and food, and rather than regale you with my tales of total mental and physical lethargy, I have held off on posting. I have managed to tear myself away from the couch to go for the occasional walk (and I plan to white water raft tomorrow), but other than that I am sad to report that my heart rate has barely risen above that of a comatose patient. I am essentially on travel hiatus, a seeming oxymoron, but a true description of my current situation.

And so I ask you all to stop worrying and wondering, I will be back posting in full force once I reach Australia in a week or so (December 12th exactly for you stalwarts) and I’ll catch up with all of you then.
