My annual trip away has come around pretty fast, although
this year I have squeezed in two big trips away and that I am happy for.
Another trip to New Zealand with the accidental addition of a fourth week means
I will be away longer than I had expected, but is well worth going. I havnt actually given the trip a name at all this time so we shall see what happens when I go over there.
So far I have sorted out my travel itinerary, my Ipod and
have fresh batteries in my main camera. Every chargable that needs charging will
be charged before I go away. I have updated my family tree info in case family
need some of that while I am on the road. The books and magazines that I want
to take with me have been selected. The last of the trips have been booked
especially since I am planning to visit White Island an active volcanic Island.
The research points I am wanting to look up have been found so will see what
happens when I visit the archives.
Usually I have sorted out my packing by now, but this time I
have not. I will do that Saturday night just in time for the Monday flight so
everything will be busy from then until the morning when I fly out. At least I
will hopefully miss the storms unlike last time that delayed up at the airport.
Many of the locations I have booked to stay, I have not been
to before like Gisborne and Huntly. I am hoping to make a trip out to South
Auckland if I do have the time to do so. I am still running on the theme of the
New Zealand Wars, but will keep an eye on anything not listed by DOCs. The
reason for Huntly is that I have used Auckland as a stop many times and wanted
to stay somewhere else. A rough looking place that used to have coal mines and
has a museum that I heard is worthy to visit.
