Visa and ticket

The time crunch begins.  I did get my visa and subsequently my ticket. How is it that a week seemed like so much time, just two days ago and now it seems I am leaving so soon?  More requests to dine, or visit are coming daily and I need to pare down on the social things that I am doing.  A boundary setting lesson at its best.  This is combined with a true desire to meet with everyone, dine, kayak, hike, discuss.  I just know that I can't do it all.  Panic is another way of procrastinating.  So is blogging. Next post? Likely in the airport or in Auckland.  I will be staying in a hotel/apartment for a month while I try to get my act together.  :)
