Welcome to my Blog!
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! :)

Tral,
ReplyDeleteI love the blog. I will put it on my list of to-dos while you are gone!! Who am I going to call on my way home from work?? I know you'll have a GREAT time!
Dear Allison,
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you. I'll be very excited to learn of what you may remember from several years ago.
Love - MOM
Unlike Ashley I will not need to put your blog on to-do because I will be constantly checking in to see how your trip is going. Hopefully this will help not being able to see you for almost a month. But, at least we can re-unite in VEGAS!!!! I love you so much and you're going to have such a blast!

Sweet Allison,
ReplyDeleteI so glad you arrived safely in New Zealand and that you are having a good time. I will have something to look forward to everyday by reading your blog.
I am leaving North Carolina in the morning and driving straight to Tampa to visit Cindi my good friend who is battling cancer.
I hope you enjoy your trip and I look forward to hearing all the stories when you get home.
We miss you already. Stay safe and stay sweet!
Love you,
Mrs C. :) XOXOXO
