Cheers from New Zealand!
Fellas, I've been having a blast.
I did bungy jumping off of the Harbour Bridge into the Auckland bay, and actually dipped into the water! It's one of the last places in the world that still allow you to actually dive head first into the water. I have the DVD, and will upload once I have more bandwidth.
Today, I jumped out of a plane at 14k feet! Gddamn that was SUCH A BLAST! We had about a minute of free fall and something like 7 mins of parachuting down to earth, while observing the beautiful island from above. DVD to come as well
I also did the "America's Cup sailing experience" on one of the NZ national competition boats. That was amazing.
A couple people finally made it out here and we visited the Weiheke island yesterday, went wine tasting...ordered a couple bottles of some amazing pinot (even though NZ is known for the sauv. blanc, this winery was amazing; we chatted with the owner, who used to be a lawyer and mathematician..lol)
Work/school starts tomorrow (study abroad class on global entrepreneurship), so I made sure to have a blast while everyone was making their way out here.
Anyway, cheers to the norcal crew!

Sounds fun. My wife bungy-jumped there as well (in 1989).
In Santa Barbara, I bungy-jumped from a balloon (400 ft. off the ground). Of course, that was pre-marriage and after a heavy night of drinking. . .
Looking forward to the vids.
