Okay, two things: This episode is EXTRA long, and it doesn’t end when you think (listen for my added special tribute at the end). After two weeks, I think you can allow me some extra time.
Today I tell you about our trip to Northland—our honeymoon. First up, I have some historical information for the date I actually recorded. Fast forward if you want. After that, I give the final (I think) update on the referendum I’ve been talking about. My main topic is our honeymoon in the Bay of Islands, Northland, New Zealand. Comments and email let me expand on a number of things—first, being an expat, and second, the upcoming AmeriNZ Live podcasts. A special tribute is at the very end—don’t fast forward Too much!

Remembering Senator Ted Kennedy: Today we have a special episode about Senator Edward M. Kennedy, his career, his legacy and what his death means for not just liberals, but the US Senate generally. We also share some personal memories and reflections.
After Jason’s special days, we have some final thoughts on the elevation of Sonia Sotomayor to the US Supreme Court, which is why this episode starts with the audioclip. From there it’s on to the main topic, the debate over healthcare reform, and we have another audio clip. To wrap up, Arthur has another silly story from the conservative fringe. After a couple phone messages, we’re done. Can you guess what saved our phone number for another two weeks beyond what the phone messages gave us?
I begin with some breaking news, then onto something from the NZ news. After that, the main topic: Visiting New Zealand. I share a few tips and tricks and resources. Comments and then that’s it for this week.
