My mom was selected to present at the 3rd International Innovations in Nursing conference in Perth, Australia. In true mooch style, I tagged along! We managed to visit Dubai, Australia, and New Zealand in just ten days. New Zealand was by far the highlight of the trip and definitely a place I would like to return to when I have more time. It has such as a natural and simple way of life, but is still modern. In addition, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, at least while we were there.

Check out the pics.

My camera recently went belly up and started taking weird pictures of everything. The colours were whacked and everything was heavily pixelated. A search revealed this was a common problem with Canon and other cameras due to a faulty CCD. Since this was a manufacturing defect, Canon (and others) fixed it for free even though it’s out of warranty.

It appears the camera started taking evil pictures of everything! Here they are for your amusement.
