...go!!

We're off tonight! We unexpectedly got tickets for this evening, so spent the day packing and doing some last minute stuff. We fly at 22h20 to Dubai (8 hours), have a two-hour stop-over, then leave at 10h15 their time for Sydney (another 14 hours). Three hours in Sydney, then the final 3-hour flight to Christchurch, arriving at 15h15 on Thursday afternoon, then another two hours of driving to our final destination. Needless to say we are VERY excited although not a little sad at the pending separation from family and friends - new adventures are always bittersweet for us. Catch you on the other side!!
