NEWS FROM KATE THE BILLBOARD

Hi, Billboards and others headed down to the Land of Kiwis. Here's info about Kate Thornburg's upcoming journey as well as her hair growth update:

"I've got about an inch of hair so far, very boring brownish- didn't know what the real color would be!

I'm going to NZ Feb 19th-Mar 15 and have decided to fly directly to Christchurch, get on the Stray Bus hop-on, hop-off backpacking around the south island (http://www.straytravel.com/ )and then back up to Auckland, taking in the Tongariro Crossing on the way up. Cheers to Terry for the tip on the AirNZ website as I got a one-way flight for US$37! I'm doing a 3d stopover in Rarotonga, Cook Islands on the way back and (I think) staying at Aremango Guesthouse or Vara's. If anyone else is going to be there while I am let me know and maybe we can hang out!
