I’m Going To New Zealand
A couple posts ago I mentioned a super awesome trip abroad I was going to be taking soon. For some reason I didn’t want to just list that trip in with all the other odds and ends I was talking about, because this particular bit of travel is special and it really is going to be amazing.
So where am I traveling?
I AM GOING TO NEW ZEALAND!!!!
I’ve wanted to visit New Zealand for years. I had almost saved up enough to move there a few years ago but those plans fell through as did my plans to visit the country. But now I’ve got the plane tickets purchased, a place to stay, a few friends to meet up with and a whole lot of excitement.
But I don’t leave for another month. Darn it.
So I’m going to use my month to plan a little bit more. What do I want to see? What do I want to do? What are the best things in New Zealand to experience? I’m planning on making some lists and figuring out exactly what I can’t miss on this first trip to New Zealand.
I will be staying in Auckland and mostly hanging out on the North Island. I’m staying with my boyfriend (for more on that, read a little weight loss blogging love story) and we are going to Taupo and a few other cool North Island places. I have two or three people I will be meeting up with for sure in the Auckland area and maybe even someone from Australia. I’m excited to meet all of these people that I’ve befriended online. It’s going to be an awesome travel adventure!
Have any of you been to New Zealand? Do you have any suggestions for things to do/see/eat/experience while I am there?
Hehe, I'm bias, so I'll stay out of this :D

Go on a Lord of the Rings tour!
When I think of New Zealand, lamb racks is probably the first thing that pops in my mind.
I've never been to New Zealand but a friend that came back recently told me that the National Parks were definitely worth a visit.
