Just to let you know Samuele, Stefano, Antonio and Maria all made their flight on time this morning leaving Wellington on Quantus at 6.00am...Wiremu, Oriwia, Leroy and I saw all 4 students off at the airport safely.
It was sad to see them go, big hugs and kisses to them all.  They are all wonderful kids and very independent.  They have such a long flight home, I hope Antonio's foot does not give him too much grief.  His foot is till sore but he has wrapped a bandage around his foot so I hope his travels are comfortable.
 
The boys had their farewell at Hato Paora on Tuesday and then Antonio, Samuele came to spend their last 2 days in Wellington with Wiremu and I.  We also brought Leroy down to Wellington to spend some time with the boys.  We took them to the movies on Tuesday night and then Wednesday we went sightseeing around Wellington again.
 
Maria arrived in Wellington last night with Mary Dinsdale and the 2 Turakina girls that will visit Italy in September.  We went out for dinner which gave us all time to mingle and also allow the Turakina girls to meet Samuele and Antonio.  It was an awesome night, the girls were so excited about their visit to Italy when they left to go back to school.
 
Please email back to let us know that all 4 students have arrived home safely...
