Two New Nix fans - we finally made it to New Zealand!

Ripped it off yr back?

Too funny!! Ya, that was me and Michael! Nice to meet you guys! Thanks for the welcome! Hope you enjoy the rest of your visit here in Rotorua. We're heading to Napier tomorrow.

And that is an example of how small New Zealand is...

Two degrees of separation.

Needs more Sardines!

We haven't exactly brought good luck to the Nix. Two 3-0 losses since we touched down in NZ. At this point, you guys will be sending us one-way tickets back to Canada!?

Cool, a new scape goat!!

Sorry wellington haha

We apologise for what we've done to the team!

Hope we can make it to that. Totally immersed in moving stuff right now. So much to get sorted.

Once you are settled, you are going to enjoy the place! Buy a farm and grow Maple trees on it! a new export for New Zealand!!

Here is a weird fact about Canada and maple syrup: when you go out to a restaurant for pancakes, I'd say about 85% or more of restaurants don't use real maple syrup. They use fake stuff with artificial maple flavour. You can't even pay extra for the real stuff. Go figure, eh?

At home we always used the real stuff. Probably won't be doing that here much. I'm not sure how much it costs here, but it's probably a lot!

NZ exports most of our Canadian Salmon to Canada.

or how pervasive the reach of YellowFever truly is...

How have you guys settled in? Finding your way around everything in Hawkes Bay?

What are they going to do on the 2nd day C-Diddy?

It's really scenic and the people here are really friendly! We haven't had time to really check out much though. Basically looking for a home every waking moment. Just taking a break to watch the Nix lose now.? 

Correct that:the Nix won the game after all!!???

Turns out you weren't the jinx.

Yeah!! We can stay!!

Yays!

Will have a couple of spare seats in the Hawkes Bay Fever Bus for the road trip down to Wellington for the Finals in a few weeks.

Keen?

Unfortunately, we are in a pretty high stress situation: need to find a home ASAP. We also need to sort out the situation with the shipping container with our householdgods being stuck in a backlog with MAF in the Napier harbour.  Hoping to put in an offer on a house after the weekend.  Fingers crossed that "she'll be right" with all of this.

Thanks for the invite though!!

No doubt, you'll run into us here in Napier at some point soon.  

Fly a Nix flag from your TV aerial and they will come!

Missed it.? Hoping to be able to catch more games online once we move into our home.

Nice one guys. Glad to hear youve both settled into Hawkes Bay life!

Please correct me if im wrong but you guys are working at Hastings Hospital? 

No, that's not us. Mike used to work in a hospital as a computer technologist who helped patients with assistive devices, but he retired from that job. As for me, I'm a photographer. Not too much cash in that so I made extra $ as a daytime dog/puppy visitor in our old Toronto neighbourhood. Doubt there is much need for that here.

I have a background in social service/office work too. 

We bought a place in Tamatea. Moving in mid July! ?
