The big adventure begins

Well, welcome to my blog. This is my first time doing this but I'm thinking there's going to be a lot of firsts on this trip so I may as well start here, plus it saves you having to read huge spam emails every two weeks :P

Thanks to all of you who came to my leaving party, all-you-can-eat pancakes is a bit crazy when you can hardly finish one plate! But it was great to see you all there - awesome turnout : ) *big hug*

Well the plan for the big OE as it stands is:
26 June NZ>Vancouver with Claire
13 July Vancouver>US (Seattle, Spokane, San Francisco, San Jose, Yosemite NP, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, Michigan, Niagara Falls, New York)
20 Sep New York>London (live and work for a year or so and travel through Eastern Europe)
Sep 2007 - back to NZ via Thailand (want to side trip around Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam - and hop across to the Phillipines too) want to be back in time for December graduation, christmas and summer in Wellington : )

So keep checking this to see how I'm going on my travels, will hopefully post pictures along the way too! And just so you dont forget what I look like there's a picture of some munter looking like a sheep : )

You can email me anytime at kiwigirlnextdoor@yahoo.co.nz, or post a comment here :)

Luv you and miss you
