Time for Self Reflection

It's almost Christmas time and I'm missing my family terribly. I have 3 days off work and decide Wellington is the place to go for some thinking, solitude and shopping! I have a lot on my mind to think about and I find that blending into the crowds of Wellington is exactly what I need. I spend an afternoon at Te Papa museum, looking at the giant squid exhibit-very fascinating. The next day I took the cable car to the botanical gardens to spend a relaxing day meandering the paths and reading my book. "Welly" is a beautiful city on the coast and offers a lot in the way of cuisine and shopping-at least more than Hastings and Napier!
I ponder the fact that I've been in NZ for 1 1/2 years! How much longer should I stay? Where will I go next? Am I doing the right thing for me? Do I want to go back to the USA? There is a divide in the road and I don't know which way to go. I spend a lot of time wandering the Wellington wharf wishing I knew just a little bit of the future ahead.
