I’ve just returned from New Zealand and it was a wonderful trip. Some of the highlights were the jetboating (doing 360 degree turns), black water rafting (in caves 200 feet below ground), flying on a 6 seater plane to Milford Sound, near Queenstown.. and bungy jumping. The trip was fantastic!

What started as a mere idea in a conversation, turned into the best part of the trip…I completed the bungy jump and raised over $12, 325 for AAUW! I thought of it almost like a dare – jump off a bridge to earn donations, and wow, did I surpass any expectation. Check it out:

Maybe others could combine their passions such as I did to help a great cause. Thanks to all who supported me.
