nz t minus 4

uh, oh. it’s monday already. and we’re flying to new zealand on, uh, friday?

shit.

with a luxurious four days to go, i think we’ve finally got our itinerary set. mostly. now the new zealand trip has turned into a new zealand/australia trip. and to think i didn’t want to follow through on our original plans of japan/hawaii because i didn’t want to go to more than one place. or that it was too complicated.

that’ll learn me.

so, the plans are to fly into auckland, spend a couple of days there, then fly to dunk island in queensland, australia over in the great barrier reef. stay in some fancy resort there. i think that will involve laying on the beach, drinks with umbrellas, and possibly being under water at some point. and then down to sydney for a few days, and then back to new zealand, starting in wellington, and taking the train back up to auckland, stopping at tongariro national park (to see volcanoes!) and waitomo (to see glowworms!) on the way.

all for a budget that is probably what xz and mac will spend in their first year of travelling.

that’s ok, because i just got a raise last week.

but that means i have to come back to collect.

next, the packing…
