I'm very new at this- so please don't judge my technological abilities!

At this point, I have purchased plane tickets and have begun to start purchasing warm clothing since in will be winter in New Zealand. The flight from LA to Australia will be a whopping 12 hours and quite a time change with it being 6 pm and 6am there. It will take a few days to get adjusted to the time change for sure.
I will be touring the south island and will begin my journey in Cristchurch. I will stay in a hotel for a few days and then after that it is on to hostels and sleeping bags for 3 1/2 weeks. If you know me well, then you know this will be a challenge.
Our packing list limits us to 1-44lb. bag that contains a sleeping bag and all other items that are needed. In addition we can bring 1 carry on bag. I'm nervous to stay the least. Usually, I have at least 50 lbs until I charged extra!
I depart on May 17th and after crossing the international date line, I will arrive in New Zealand on May 19th and return back to the states on June 11.
Stay tuned as it will be an exciting 3 1/2 week ride through the beautiful country of New Zealand! :)
