We fly out tomorrow night, I had my last day at work today. I thought I would be excited, but instead I was rushed off my feet all day and didn’t have time to think about it.

It’s great to think that I won’t be back in the office now until 26th Feb. I haven’t had such a long, exotic holiday since our honeymoon back in 2004 – I think I deserve it!

We’re full of anticipation and getting a but nervous as it dawns on us what lies ahead. What will the flight be like? Will it get delayed? How will little Sophie cope with travelling for nearly 30 hours? What will the weather be like when we finally arrive?

We are hoping everything will go smoothly and we will learn from others’ mistakes (eg no forgotten passports!)

Next update will come once we arrive – unless we have some time to kill and find internet access en-route :-p

Snowy fields

Today we woke up to a light covering of snow, I took this pic on the way to the train station. I was expecting delays, but was pleasantly surprised when my train arrived on time.

Apparently the New Zealand summer has been pretty poor so far, but at least it is warmer than it is in the UK right now. We are hoping to see some nice weather when we arrive there next Saturday. Keep checking back for updates and pics.

Hi! This is the first post on this new website. We are going to use this to keep you all up to date with what we get up to on our 3 week trip to New Zealand. We fly out on Feb 1 and fly home on 22 Feb. While we’re out there, we will be spending time in Christchurch and Wellington.

We promise to post lots of pictures (and maybe even some video) and tell you all about what we get up to. Don’t forget to post comments and / or send us email.
