I’M GOING TO NEW ZEALAND!
Ok, that’s out of my system. My bags are packed! I have my travel pillow, power adapters, and passport/travel itinerary/travel vouchers/proof of travel insurance. We’ve packed every medication you can get over the counter, umbrellas and ponchos, sunscreen and hats, winter AND summer clothing. I’m bringing my laptop to record my adventures daily (or almost daily) because at the end of 2 weeks, I’m going to forget what we did at the beginning. I’m bringing seven books with me-I hope its enough.
I’m nervous/excited/anxious. I haven’t been able to concentrate on much of anything for the past week. I’m not even there yet and I’m already dissapointed that its going to end. I hope I have energy to keep going the whole time-I love sleep too much but I don’t want to sleep away my time there. I hope Alex has a good time and isn’t too anxious while we are there. I want him to have a good time and enjoy doing some of the more adventurous stuff we have scheduled.
I have such high hopes for this trip and have been talking about it and looking forward to it for so long that I’m convinced there is no way it can live up to expectations. AND I’m still trying to kick this cold!
But its going to be awesome. I know it. It HAS to be!
Try not to miss me too badly while I’m gone. I promise I’ll have lots of photos and stories when I return.
Have fun in New Zealand! Can’t wait to hear all about it.
