The Plan

Okay, Internet! Here is the plan!

We are leaving Edmonton on Monday February 16, and, four flights later, we will arrive in Christchurch, NZ on Wednesday, February 18.  We have booked our first three nights in a hostel in Christchurch so that we can overcome jet lag, pick up our rental car, and get some supplies. We will then head west to Queenstown, which sounds like NZ`s equilvalent to Banff.  We will probably spend a few weeks in the Queenstown area, as it is known for its spectacular hiking, before heading south to Stewart Island. These plans are pretty flexible, depending on how distracted or engrossed we get with things along the way.  

Right now we are p-p-p-packing and it is f-f-f-fun.  Our living room is full of camping equipment and clothes.  Tomorrow we are going to try and stuff it all in our luggage and not forget anything. Yaaay.  

That is about it for now. Please comment and keep in touch along the way!
