An American Working in New Zealand: Nov. 2003 to July 2004

This just in

May 11th, 2004 Posted in Travel

It’s official…though I debated this decision quite a bit. I have been longing to go back to the US, but I also have got connected with a good church called The Street City Church. This week I was offered a permanent contract with Fujitsu. Wow, it’s a privelege to have the opportunity to stay in New Zealand! However, after much thought and prayer, I turned it down. My last day of work will be June 18th. On June 19th, I will fly from Wellington to Nelson. From there, I will travel south along the coast to Milford Sound, then go up through the center of the South Island to Mt Cook, then finish in Christchurch. On July 16th, I will fly from Christchurch to Auckland, from Auckland to LA, then from LA to Pittsburgh. Those three flights will all occur on the 16th (due to time zone crossings), and I will arrive in Pittsburgh around 9pm. Sigh.
