And so, another adventure begins. This Saturday we leave for Australia and New Zealand (land of the Long White Cloud) for a month long vacation.
The core of the vacation is the Rugby World Cup -- a quadrennial event being hosted this year in New Zealand. Paul is a big rugby fan, and Katy has graciously consented to attend two games.
But since we will be gone for 29 days, there will be lots else to do. We start in Sydney for a quick visit, then over to Wellington for some culture; Nelson for rugby and wine tasting; followed by a 6 day drive down the west coast of the South Island, ending in Queenstown. After that we hop to the North Island and Rotarua, where we will spend 4 days hiking (the NZ folk call it "tramping") in Maori country, before flying back to Australia. There we will hit Adelaide (again for the wine) and make a stop in Cairns to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Should be exciting!
