Today I applied for an overseas driver's license conversion and could not believe how easy it was! I walked away in under 30 min with my temporary full license in hand and it only cost $50! They did a quick eyesight test, took my photo and signature and said I should receive the card in 3 weeks, pretty simple! They just needed to see my Massachusetts license, my passport and a proof of address here. I mostly got it to have an accepted for of ID to carry with me, to get into bars for example, so that I don't have to carry around my passport everywhere with me!
It was also a nice, sunny hot day today and I went for a swim in the bay for my training because high tide was right at midday and the water was so warm! Julia and the girls did some kayaking in front of the house as well.
Tomorrow night I am doing an ocean swim (they take place every Thursday as part of a summer swim series). You can choose your distance, 500m, 1k, 1.5k, or 2k. I'm just doing the 1k to test out the swimming wetsuit, which I have tried out briefly in the bay, to make sure it's comfortable enough to make it over 4k if I decided to sign up to swim to Rangitoto in April! After that Sophie and I are off to Waiwera hot pools for the night to use up my GrabOne voucher before it expires! Then it's the long weekend and we're going to Fiesta Del Sol on a vineyard on Waiheke island all day Saturday for An's birthday so we're hoping the rain in the forecast holds off!
