10 days tomorrow!

Oh man, just a little over a week now and we'll be departing for Atlanta, and ultimately New Zealand. We're still waiting on our last few things to arrive in the mail. We've decided to get a phone and GPS over there--setup here just seems too complicated. We also got a huge, nifty double-sided map (pictured below).  One side shows the North Island, and the other the South Island. I have a feeling we'll become well-acquainted with this map...

If you look on there, right in the center where it says Manukau, there's a little red airplane just above that. That's where we'll be flying in. We're going to camp the first night just 5.2 km (oh snap, goodbye miles!) away from the airport. We'll be at a hostel in Auckland the next night, run around the city and some, and then we'll be hopping between four different campgrounds to the west for a week before heading to work on Turanga Creek Vineyards in Whitford. 

I suspect that we won't have much access to internet whilst camping (duh), so I won't really be updating during that first week, nor will we have too much contact with friends and family at home. After that though, I expect to upload a barrage of photos of everything we've seen up to that point.

I'll make it a point to update again before we leave. Ha. Thanks for reading!
