After weeks of travel books, guide books, videos, we bought our tickets. We now are the proud owners of 4 round trip tickets to New Zealand.

The day after Christmas -very early- we are boarding good ol’ WesJet to Vancouver. After the day there we get to board Air New Zealand for the direct flight to Auckland. 14 hours and the date line put us in Kiwi country on the 28th.

The real fun begins. Renting the house, finding care for our two dogs, saving our money, paying off credit card, selling our car, researching where to live in Christchurch, which school to send our boys, lots of things.

It is quite exciting. Can’t wait. 100 days – it will fly by.
