Skydive countdown...

In exactly 15 minutes I will be walking out the door to the skydiving pickup point! AHHHHHH!!!!! SO excited! Queenstown is absolutely beautiful with all the snowcapped mountains. Yesterday after arriving Alicia and I went up in the very steep gondola and were shocked at the astounding beauty of the town, lake, and mountains that lay in front of and before us! Then I went to a nearby canyon/river and went on my first Jetboat ride... AWESOME! They're these boats that work like jetskis, they only need 10 cm of water to operate, and they can do 360 degree turns and come within inches, literally, of the canyon wall! It was an absolutely exhilarating experience! After taking a couple of hours to walk around this quaint very fun little town I then made some dinner and got ready for a totally awesome night out with Alicia - they have something called the Kiwi Crawl here and we met some awesome people... very good times!
Gotta run, but hope y'all are doing well and I will be back in the States before I know it and we can chat on the phone!
