The Weekend Edition

Happy weekend, friends! Actually, it’s already Sunday eventing in New Zealand. I’m thrilled to be down here as a guest of Air New Zealand. Indeed, it’s been a whirlwind trip already! First, we spent a few days in Auckland. Last night, we attended the Air New Zealand Wine Awards there. And today, we flew from Auckland to Napier. Needless to say, I’m having a great time exploring this beautiful country and drinking lots of delicious wines. If you’d like, you can follow along on Instagram Stories (@carriec).

Meanwhile, here’s a look at what’s been happening here and a few things we found interesting online this week…
