Bay of Islands and Paper accepted

Nora and I went up to the Bay of Islands two weeks ago, and went sailing with John. That is the guy I've been going sailing with. He just bought a boat and it was up there, although he brought it down now. The Bay of Islands is awesome. We head great weather and really enjoyed ourselves. It's definitely one of the places to go to here on the north island. I also got another good message, my paper was accepted for CLEO 2006. So I'll be going to California at the end of May. I'll also be going to spent a month in Besancon to work with Thibaut, one of our collaborators, so it'll be an exciting year. Especially because I can go visit everybody in Germany while im over there. Compare to the distance from here Germany is just around the corner from France :)
