New Zealand and Australia. March 12 - March 30, 2024.

We are almost underway, and very excited! For all the advance booking that goes into most trips, we just decided to take this epic trip in mid-January. And BOY, are we glad we made that decision! I don't think either of us need a vacation more than we do right now... I mean, I always want a vacation, but this one couldn't have come at a better time.

Happy to have you along for the journey, thanks for reading and looking at the pics!
