Today is the Day!!

Ok so I'm very super very excited because I leave for New Zealand today! It literally took me 4 tries of packing and repacking in order to fit into the wacky Kiwi flight luggage dimensions. Plus we have to bring the world- internal frame backpack, snorkeling gear, fleece (!), sleeping bag, it said optional stove and in the end I was like WHO HAS ROOM FOR A STOVE!!! But in the end everything I'm bringing fits [praise the Lord] and I can relax. I leave for LAX tomorrow evening and then meet up with everyone there. So excited!!! It's so weird that I'm going to the other side of the world tomorrow. To winter! It's crazy because we had to pack basically every seasonal option for clothing since we are going to be backpacking in wintery conditions in New Zealand as well as snorkeling in tropical waters in Samoa. I go all na-tur-al for 4 months, starting tomorrow. But don't worry, I'll be wearing clothes. There is much adventure to come. I am excited. It's gonna take basically FOREVER to get there though. Travel is fun though.

Anyways, I think I'll have internet access there but I don't know how often or how strong it is, so we'll see. I'm tired. Time for bed!!! Hasta luego.
