Packing - 5 Days Till Departure!

It's January 5th, and we have 5 days till we leave!

It's a crazy time - packing up the apartment and packing for the trip. We are traveling light and will be carrying everything in a backpack. Which means we will be wearing the same two t-shirts and shorts for the next few months. Bryce can do this no problem. However, I am going to miss my closet a lot.

I found these sites helpful when figuring out to take with us/leave behind:
Our rough itinerary:
  • Fiji! The cheapest flight to New Zealand actually connected in Fiji. We had to make it a longer stay than a 2 hour layover.
  • New Zealand! Auckland for a couple days, and then we head out via campervan to the countryside. New Zealand is famous for long treks called Great Walks. We have planned to do a couple - the Abel Tasman Coast Track and the Kepler Track.
  • Australia! We haven't planned this leg of the trip yet, but must see places include: the Whitsunday Islands, Sidney, Melbourne. And my friend Megan highly recommended canoeing the Noosa River.
If you have suggestions on places to see and things to do, please let us know!

I hope to see you all at our going away party this Friday at The Upstairs (9pm-1am). The address is 2209 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98121. Thanks to Anna, Becca and Rohan for organizing.
