A good friend of Mark is going a year to New Zealand. Jared played soccer with our son Mark for many years in Niagara and then they lived in the same house for the five years while they both studied engineering at University. Jared is spreading his wings and is going to try out the life down under in the land of the Kiwis. He is already on the ice-hockey team of Queenstown, a sport I am sure not too many folks in New Zealand play (the land of the mighty "All Blacks" rugby team)...
Tonight it was nice to have Jared over for dinner and wish him safe travels and good luck. It brought my thoughts back to when I was 25 and left Holland for a year trotting the world. And our daughter Hilary wants to go badly again after just having been in Australia for a year with months of travel on the way there and back in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines....
