NZ, Here We Come

The eve before a flight to a new country. Or any place, really. Always a nervous night. Packing, cleaning, did we bring everything? Don't forget to take out the trash, eat all the perishables, what time do we need to be at the airport? We need to go to sleep early, but, of course, I'm not tired. It's like Christmas eve for grown ups. The item I always forget: any guesses? My hairbrush. Not the worst thing to forget, easily replaced, but still annoying.

We are packed, the list of last minutes is ready for tomorrow morning, the cab is booked. I think we are good to go. 18 days, a rental car and a jam packed itinerary for a trip around the south island of NZ. I'm really looking forward to some great photos - my main goal besides having fun in general. I really wish that I had at least one more lens for my Canon XTi (digital SLR); I have really been aching to take some fish-eye and/or wide angle pics. Someday I will splurge for another lens, right now I'll make due with this amazing camera and its solitary lens.

Not much else to say this fine night, except that I'll be blogging in NZ and I think we'll have a really great time. Think good thoughts to the travel gods for us. Bon Voyage!
