I'm a happy medium aswell. Get baaaaad hangovers if I drink too much wine so I'll stick with beer. Will definitely need you guys to make sure I don't chicken out of the skydive.

I am not a big adrenalin rush person, so not sure how many of those sort of optionals I will do. The helicopter ride up to Fox Glacier looks good. The scenery would be amazing!

Hey Miss_Kayti, I am from Melbourne as well! Where abouts in Melbourne do you live?

I'm not a massive adrenalin rush person either but its a once in a lifetime opportunity so I'm going to do as much as I can and dare myself to do things I've never done before.

Good on you!! Yeah I will see how I go. I have been wanting to go to NZ for a while, because everyone says how beautiful it is. Going more for the scenery, a holiday and just to have a lot of fun in general! When it comes to the crunch, I will be sure to encourage you to skydive!

Great thanks Tal. Im going for the scenery and holiday too really. Got a load of work to do before I go though!

Hey Tal, i'm from the south eastern suburbs, around Vermont South. What about you? You should join the Facebook group, there's 6 of us on there so far. And I think the helicopter up to Fox Glacier sounds great. We get out and walk on top of the glacier, photo opportunity! Although someone recently fell through a hole in the snow around there, which is kinda scary to think about :-P

Did the person who fell through the hole survive?

Yeah he did. I can't remember what happened exactly though, but I think he was fine.

Yeah he was ok. I think he broke both lets or ankles or something...not good!! There was another story recently about a guy who went skydiving somewhere and his parachute wouldn't open. He landed on a roof, but luckily he was ok. Not encouraging me to be daring on our trip!

miss_kayti, I live in St Kilda East

Nooooooooo dont say that - I really want to do a skydive!

And you still should! That was just a freak thing. Very rare. Don't let it stop you. You drive in a car everyday, even though there are car accidents...!

That is very true! Well I've just got my last event out of the way so now I'm really really looking forward to NZ!

Just booked one night at Hotel So on the 11th. I'm getting so excited!

That's great Pippa! Looks like a few of us will be spending that night there. Although that night will be a VERY early one for me, as my flight is 7am the next day! Will probably have to be up at about 4am...ewww!

I am very exited also!!

Excellent! That's great! It is going to be so much fun.

Tal, 4am? Poor you! That is going to be a rough wake up call!

Have you guys started packing? I've started tossing things that I think I'll need in my suitcase. I'm just debating whether or not I should bring my winter jacket since we're going to be in the south. I wonder how cold it gets around that time of year or whether or not it will just feel like spring does here.
