Well after a bit of a struggle the tickets are booked and the trip is on, barring earthquakes, hurricanes or some other disaster of epic proportions. I leave Thursday night and won't arrive in NZ till Sunday (don't ask). The final itinary is ~ 3 months in New Zealand, followed by a month Island hopping round Fiji, then finnishing with a fortnight in French Polynesia. Well that's the plan as it stands right now.
So I have have to admit I'm rather excited. All I have to do right now is figure out how to get a tent, sleeping bag, stove, hiking gear for NZ, clothing for 4 1/2 months, wetsuit and diving gear and a whole load of other crap into 1 rucksack........................I love a challenge , eh ;-).
