New Zealand Dreamin'

So eight weeks from today I will be blogging from New Zealand. Needless to say, the last month or so has been filled with a lot of planning. We have a car rented, we have our ferry ride from the South Island to the North Island booked, we have some tours booked and some accommodations figured out.

I am really looking forward to doing a tour of the Waitomo Glowworm Caves...

...and if that isn't enough, we're also touring Hobbiton that same day!

While we're in Christchurch, we're planning on attending a service at the Cardboard Cathedral. I think that will be a really neat experience.

And of course, I'm looking forward to exploring some gardens! Are you at all surprised??? :)

And as sad as it may seem, I'm also really looking forward to the flight. Ha ha ha! It will be the first time in six years I will have flown and not been pregnant or with a child. I want to drink a Starbucks peacefully at the gate, read a book and watch a movie on the flight (and maybe even sleep!), and have an uninterrupted conversation with Dave. Whoo hoo!!!

I really can't wait until I can blog about all these adventures and show you pictures which I have actually taken, instead of just these ones I found on Pinterest. (Although these ones are probably way nicer than the ones I'll take!) And now I'm off to find us a bed & breakfast in Nelson. With views like this, I don't really think we'll go wrong :)
