Dear Mark and Samantha, Hopefully, you are doing great. I was very thrilled to read some information about your family. Likewise, I found it very exciting that you live in a small community by the ocean. Unlike you, I grew up in a very big Russian city. I always enjoy the time when I can get away from the city rush. Therefore, most of my summer holidays I spend in a small town. I have some questions in regards to the weather conditions throughout the year. If you could tell me what I should take for each season, it will be very helpful. Also, would you recommend taking some horseback ridding classes prior to my arrival, since you enjoy it every morning? I will arrive on July 15 th at 5 pm, which is three weeks from now. I hope my flight will not be delayed. I can’t wait for my adventure in New Zealand. Likewise, I am sure we will have the most enjoyable time together. Talk to you soon! yours truly, Alina
