I hope you keep us posted on this long adventure. Are you going to backpack or do you have a place to stay. Lucky dog

[Sasha]

Sounds frickin sweet!!!!! Hey when you are down there swing by Perth and say hi to some of my family for me.

[midger]

Nice--did you find you a job down there or is it a student exchange?

[mtnguru]

So I guess it will be a while before we get around to that fishing trip. I didn't want to go with you anyway

[tycaster]

Ok, this convinces me... I have no life. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Have fun, Man.

[anacrime]

all,

long story short i've been havin a tough time in life. but aren't we all in one way or another? just tryin to make the best of things. saw an opportunity and decided to take it. my dad lives in new zealand along with his side of the family. he moved back down a couple years ago and bought a restaurant/bar in a small town. i'm gonna go down and bartend for a while, saving plenty of time to backpack and fish. i'm taking a leave of absence from my mindless and unrewarding business management classes to explore some of the finer things in life.


soooo yeah, i'm pretty excited. little bit scared, too. if all goes according to plan i'll be back in june in time for the sierra's and the GTW opener

[fflutterffly]

But! But! you said I could carry your bags for you on this trip! Take me too!
Have a wonderful trip filled with adventure and mischief... just stay out of trouble .
Send lots of photo's.

Wow Shane, that is a great opportunity. I hope you'll be keeping us drooling with pictures of those monster browns over there.

Hope you come back.

[1mocast]

Hope you can share some of your misadventures...
Have a great time fishing the summer/fall...

[flybob]

WOW Shane, that is just * AWESOME!!!

Why be scared, you will be with family.....in one of the best trout fishing mecca's of the world!

Hey, maybe guiding NZ is in your future???

Don't forget about us, I want to see it all through your lens!
Bob

Hey we gotta get together before you leave! I owe you cigar!

[mtnguru]

We're going to have to add New Zealand Waters to the board index, maybe we'll should just call it Anacrime's Waters

[RichardCullip]
