Aieee! Excitement is building at Dawn's house. I hope you don't burst before you get to NZ . Have a black rum tea (or two) for me when you get there.

Exciting times, Dawn! After all the months of waiting, you'll probably find the next 13 days going by so quickly you cannot rest.

Do hope your dog's test comes back OK, and nothing serious is wrong with her.

Good luck with all your final preparations Dawn - this is probably the most exciting and scary time for you all. The whole process is such a rollercoaster of emotions and sometimes its just hard to understand how you are feeling because you are feeling so much you feel like you're gonna burst!!

I'll be thinking of you and hoping it all goes as smoothly as possible. Trust me - it is definately worth it

If you get to the Bay of Plenty at any point whilst you are travelling around this beautiful country - you are welcome at out house at any time

I'm sure that after a few weeks of the five of us being cooped up in that campervan that even your outhouse would sound inviting Laura.
