Someone is using my name in an attempt to scam people. I am not now nor have I ever been looking for any kind of assistant. I certainly wouldn't ever ask anyone to cash a check to me or to make a Western Union payment to anyone else (especially not someone in Manilla!). This is a classic Fake Check scam. Learn more about that at www.fakechecks.org. If you've been in contact with this person, please report them ASAP!
 
Warren watches the world go by on the ferry to the south island.
Warren and Syl enjoy the ferry ride over to the south island.
Beth, Warren, and Syl take in the scenery on the way to the south island.
Beth, Warren, and Syl take time to pose in front of Franz Joseph Glacier.  We didn't have much time to explore Franz Joseph unfortunately since we had a helicopter to make.  Fox Glacier more than made up for it though!
Beth, Warren, and Syl pose for a shot with the south island in the background.  What a wonderful day to cross the ferry.  The way back would not be such a calm ride.
Warren and Syl decided to pose with a canon in Wellington.
Beth and her dad look at Beth's favorite flower the hydrangea.  Apparently these and many other flowers came from China.  That's the story that we were told over and over again :)  Beth was happy since the Hydrangeas at home had long since lost their flowers (being winter and all).
Beth stops to take Warren and Syl's picture behind the Ataturk memorial in Wellington.
Warren takes his spot in the front of "Waka Huia" on the way to the Maori cultural show.
