First post...

Ok so this blogger thing is completly new to me, but I want everyone to be able to follow my adventures in New Zealand...so here goes...

I am currently in the throws of planning the trip and getting myself prepared...crossing my T's and dotting my I's as my stepdad would say. I still need to book my flight, I still need to set up accounts and get my visa, and I still need to get a backback and everything to go in it. Its been hard to plan because I have never done this before and I have already learned that it is better to research than to throw yourself over the edge before looking...

That said I have about a month to tie up all the loose ends and jump on the plane. I plan to leave on Dec. 10th since flights start to get very expensive after that.

Nathan is currently in phuket Thailand getting certified as a divemaster. He is going to do a little more travelling in Thailand and around, then hoppin on over to Australia for a week or so and he should be in NZ by the 2nd of Dec. and I will meet him in Auckland.

I will try to keep this updated on my progress and plans and I hope everyone enjoys reading about my trip!
