Our Itinerary

Three months sounds like a lot. So why does it seem so hard to squeeze everything in?
Here's where we are going and a little bit about what we will be doing.

New Zealand - Jan 5 to Jan 29
- We've got ourselves a Winnebago! (Actually, a "spaceship," to be exact... more on that later)
- On the North Island: Auckland, Bay of Islands, Rotorua and Tongariro National Park, among other things
- South Island highlights: sea kayaking in Abel Tasman, hiking the Franz Josef Glacier and trips on the Milford and Doubtful Sounds
- Lots of pretending that we are hanging with Gandalf and Frodo...

Cambodia and Vietnam - Jan 29 to Feb 15
- Meeting up with Jesse Fourt and Christy Utter in Phnom Penh - we can't wait to see them! - and spending a few days at the amazing Ankor Wat in Siem Reap
