New Zealand . . . Well, new to me!

Greetings one and all! The time has come for my next grand adventure . . . and it has been a long time coming! Due to circumstances beyond my control (and a few stupid mistakes – live and learn, right?) it has been 8 years since I last sojourned beyond the country of my birth.
8 years!

When I think about how much has changed in my life in that time . . . but I imagine that is a story for another blog. Today, I am here to announce to the world that, once again, it will have to deal with the misadventures of sandalmarks. And the latest victim, er. . . I mean country? New Zealand!

That’s right, the land of Hobbits and Lorde gets the honor of sharing in my next adventure. Eight years ago I shared my experiences in Denmark, England and Ireland with friends and family via a semi-daily email update. The responses from those emails was overwhelmingly positive and, with the news of my upcoming trip spreading, many of those friends and family have asked if I would continue to do so on this trip to New Zealand.

Well, who am I to let down my fans! But I have decided to switch it over to my blog rather than send out emails since kids these days don’t read emails anymore, but are more than happy to read opinionated blogs passing as news articles. . . I think I may have digressed again. That way, you all can come and go as you please and peruse my adventures at your leisure.

I would like to put a caveat in here at this time though: It has been a long time since I had a real vacation and this one is only lasting 12 days so I am thinking I will want to pack a lot into those 12 short days. This means that ‘semi-daily’ could turn into every 2 or 3 days. I apologize ahead of time for this and hope that you all understand my dilemma.


But I am super excited and super excited to share!

So, until next we meet.
