8 Days and counting...

It's Friday night, and we are looking at NZ travel brochures. Melissa has done a great job of planning the trip. We only have a few loose ends to tie up and we will be ready for the 2 day flight to New Zealand. Our current plan is to spend all the time on the south Island. We will head north from Christchurch to the Abel Tasman National Park. We will spend the night in a chalet overlooking the sound. The next morning... The real adventure begins...

We will spend most of the day sea kayaking in the sound. It should be COOL. I mean really cool... The average temperate is 65 degrees... We will be in wetsuits, and I am sure the kayak will tip at least once.
