About this blog

We started our 18 month trip in New Zealand and Australia based on the numerous books we read about world travel that stated you should ease into your trip. So where better to do that then two English speaking (eventhough we only understand about 80% of what they are saying to us) countries, especially since we just went to New Zealand in May thus it was somewhat familar to us.

So after a hectic week of Tournament duties (Scott), packing up the condo (Amy, Chris, and Karen), finding storage at the Covey's, dealing with the movers going to Seattle, packing our bags, cancelling bills and cell phones, throwing a going away party, and planning our next 18 months we final got out of the house and to the airport (on time this time).
