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:
- http://www.startbackpacking.com/travel/backpacking-packing-list/
- http://eurosatemydollars.com/trip-planning/packing-and-gear/
- 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.
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.
