Chi/LA/New Zealand xmas

I left off August 2018

SO

End of November / early December

Chicago and Los Angeles for Peru film screenings
The highlight was a free upgrade to my rental car in LA to a convertible. My "making it" in life arbitrary requirement has been checked off. 

December - Christmas in New Zealand

2 nights camping along the beach on the Abel Tasman costal track before family time. Who knew NZ was so tropical and paradise like?! I think NZ may have it all.

It certainly had the amazing fresh plumbs at our hiking exit and wine.
