T-2

Yikes! It's already Monday, and already April.  Two more sleeps until departure.

Currently taking a break at work from task of cleaning away as much paper and duties as possible before I leave.  I'm fortunate to have highly competent and flexible co-workers to put out fires for me in my absence.
I'll be sure to bring something nice back for them.

If you're just tuning in, well -- kia ora and welcome!  These blogs are published in reverse chrono order, so flip way back if you want to read about my May 2010 trip.  This 2012 trip with my younger sister Estelle will be subtitled "two middle-aged Canadian women wandering about in rental car".  I did just fine with public transport my last trip but look forward to the flexibility of having wheels at our disposal.

Had a couple of those madly-packing-at-last-minute dreams this weekend.  Am doing my best to ensure those dreams don't come true!
