Today is the day! The kids had their last chocolates in the "New Zealand Advent Calendar," and we are packed and ready to fly.
I haven't had much time lately to reminisce or get sentimental about this trip. I was doing a lot of that a few months ago when we were putting together the itinerary. The last few weeks have been full of holiday festivities, tearing about the house (yes, our house is getting an overhaul while we are away), packing, passing my CAP exam, wrapping up work projects, etc.
It has been 20 years since a totally clueless version of me traveled with a group from LVC to study abroad for a semester in New Zealand. There are things that I want to show my family, things that I regret not doing the first time, and things that we'll have to go back again to do, because there just isn't enough time.
For now, we're ready!
