Here We Go Again!The bags 

The bags are packed, travel details checked and rechecked; and we’re off. Why so much stuff? We are paddling and camping A LOT over the next few months. The only thing we will have to borrow are kayaks. Thank you Bob and Lois!! This first post is practice for me to see how we post photos and send it out using an iPad. You all are our test subjects. Let me know if there were any problems in the comments. We leave tomorrow at about 3:00pm. We land in Auckland at 5:30am local time on Friday. For those who are wondering how that translates to local time, it will be 8:30am on Thursday for all of you. (We gain a day going and lose a day on the way home.) Next post will be sometime after arrival. Wish us luck. The agricultural inspection in NZ is brutal. We anticipate it will take awhile with all the camping gear. I even scrubbed the treads of my shoes. 

For now…..
