Leaving on a jet plane...

I am officially leaving for New Zealand tomorrow! I'm very excited to go, and have been doing some serious last minute planning today. I am working on writing out my itinerary because it is all a bit of a jumble right now. I have a very jam packed schedule, but I know it will be very exciting. I head off to Auckland tomorrow, and then spend the night there, before leaving for the Bay of Islands on Monday morning, where I will be staying until Tuesday. I then get back, and hop on a flight to Christchurch on the South Island. Wednesday will be spent exploring the city, as I have a list of sights I want to see! Then Thursday I am taking a trip to Mt. Cook, although my reservation confirmation just came back to me and said it's taking me to Queenstown. So I am working on fixing that...Then Friday I am going on a day trip to Akaroa, which is a a harbour town with dolphins and penguins everywhere, and the trip includes a New Zealand wine and cheese tasting! Then Saturday morning I have an early flight back to Auckland, through Wellington. I then plan on spending Saturday exploring the city, with an early flight back to Sydney on Sunday morning. I don't have a hostel booked for this last night, so I plan on exploring the night life, and then likely sleeping in the airport for a couple hours (don't pay attention to this part mom). It's something I've always wanted to do, to just have no plan and totally wing it without a place to stay! Then I'll be back next Sunday, the 19th.

Until next time, after the grand tour of NZ!
