It's time. I leave tomorrow at around 7:00am to drive to Boise, and fly to San Francisco. Then to LAX. There's a 6 hour layover in LAX, hopefully Jamie will come meet me. I have a 13 hour flight to Auckland after that. As for the rest of my trip, I don't really have a plan as to what I'm doing. On purpose. I'll land in Auckland and I have 3 days booked in a hostel there. After that, I'm just going to see what happens. Hopefully I'll find people to travel with and join them, if not, I'll start heading south and figure it out from there.
I'll be back January 21st.
See you all then.
Noah.....I am sooo excited for you. This will be a lifetime packed into 3 months! Good for you to keep the schedule totally open, free to unfold things as they happen. I will be thinking often of you. I am going to contact my friend, Simon Middlemass (he lives in Wanaka on the south island). He's a climber and dear friend who would be happy to help you. Watch here as I get you some contact info. Hugs and have a good flight! tommyboy
ReplyDeleteOutstanding Noah...good for you. I did this same trip dare I say....28 years ago....oy. Three months, both islands - it was great. You'll love the country and people.
ReplyDeleteDid you check out and register for www.couchsurfing.org?? Could be a great way for you to meet some cool locals and not have any lodging costs.
Have fun and safe travels!
