Winding Down the Excursion

Monday is the final day of our convention excursion that has taken in both Melbourne, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand. To say we’ve been busy is an understatement. We’ve seen penguins by the hundreds come marching in at the end of a long day of fishing. We hand-fed kangaroos and baby lambs. We hiked up the side of an inactive volcano. We walked around in Bag End at Hobbiton and hugged the Party Tree. And, oh yes, we met a slew of new fans and friends from all walks of life.

It’s been an exciting and exhausting trip, and I’m looking forward to getting home.
