HAPPINESS

"He was discovering happiness in the present. When he sat reading in the library, or playing Mozart in the music room, he often felt the invasion of a deep spiritual emotion, as if Shangri-LA were indeed a living essence, distilled from the magic of the ages and miraculously preserved against time..."

Rappelling in Waitomo Caves



Alec and Emily flew into Auckland ahead of schedule on Dec. 23, 2009. They breezed thru NZ customs and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing Departments to hit the ground running. We are a happy bunch of Americans who have spent our holiday having an action packed adventure. One memorable day was spent in Waitomo with cave exploring. I really cannot believed I signed us up for rappelling at the caves with the glowworms. After, some some extra encouragement. I dropped 60 feet into the cave. Then it was onward into another 60 foot drop. The zip line was a piece of cake after the rappelling. By the end of the day, I could keep up with the best of them. Of course Alec, Em, and Gabe were luvin' it all.
