t minus 30 hours to departure...

So we've made it to the end... we leave tomorrow afternoon for LAX. I think we're both ready to make it home but it will definitely be a crazy transition for us. Not only will we have to get used to driving on the right side of the road (and by right I mean both the directional sense of the word and that it is indeed the correct side of the road to be driving on...), but we'll have to get used to living in one place for an extended period of time instead of traveling from hostel to hostel, working (what??), setting alarm clocks, and really just getting used to the day to day activities of living and working in the states. Bring it on US of A... bring it on.

A couple neat facts about our trip...

We drove over 15,000kms in New Zealand. That is enough to drive from Auckland to New York City. Yikes!

We swam with dolphins, skydove (twice), took surfing lessons, rode in a helicopter, explored through caves, and sea kayaked our way through NZ.

We really learned A LOT about each other - even the random things. For example. Did you know that if Josh could have any super power he would choose to teleport?? Now - that is what you call KNOWING your husband.

We were able to celebrate Australia Day in Australia (Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! oi! oi!) - lots of fireworks, beer, and barbeques.

We had a true adventure. From the people we met, the tramping and camping we did, and the things we saw - it was all a grand and thrilling adventure that we both wouldn't trade for the world. We'll see you state side in just a few days!!
