New Zealand!

What to do when you need a little time away from the crazy?  Head to New Zealand for three weeks, with no phone or computer, and go hiking in rain forests, fjords, volcanoes, and glaciers.  I'm leaving today.  We'll check in via teh interwebs every four or five days (I think public internet cafes still exist... ha).

Our itinerary:
29 February - arrive NZ
1 day exploring Rotorua, stronghold of Maori culture and geothermal hotspots
3 days hiking in the Whirinaki rainforest
2 days hiking across the volcanoes and jewel colored pools of Tongariro
2 days hiking over glaciers, one of which ends in a rain forest, by the sea
3 days on the alpine Routeburn Trail
4 days hiking the "most beautiful walk in the world",  on the Milford Trail
1 day of winetasting in Queenstown
2 days to explore Auckland
21 March - fly home

See you on the flip side!
