Happy Holidays!

Jenna:  We're back in civilization after six days of work at the resort.  Not much to report on there - have a few new staff members and everything is getting ramped up for the incredibly busy stretch from Christmas through January. 

After work on Saturday Rob and I packed a dinner and hiked from the resort to the Queen Charlotte Track.  The track is the big hiking trail that runs through the Marlborough Sounds.  It takes 4-5 days to hike the whole thing, and the resort is about two hours off the main track.  We had a nice dinner of egg salad sandwiches at the top and got back home just before dark.  Took about three hours roundtrip.

On Monday Jen, Sofia and I (the housekeeping crew) took an evening kayak ride.  It was really beautiful, but got a bit windy on the way back.  Kayak use is definitely a nice perk for the staff!

Now we're in town for the night, going to do some Christmas shopping, have a few good meals, and relax.  Won't be back in town until after Christmas.  Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday!!  We'll definitely be missing all our family and friends back home.
