Introduction

Hi there friends & family!

We are heading off to New Zealand this Thursday (cannot believe how quickly this is happening). I've established this blog, so that we can communicate pictures and stories and interesting happenings in somewhat "real time" while we are there. From time to time over the next ten days, I'll post a travel journal to keep you up to date with our adventures, states of mind and photos! Remember - New Zealand is 18 hours ahead of EST!!

Bookmark this site, checking back often to see the "haps!". Nadine tells me there will be internet access along the way, so I will update as often as I can.
