NewZealand, Here We come!

Two more days to departing for Kiwi land! I am so excited :) This will be the first 2+ week trip I have taken in years. I am going to the land of "The Lord of the Rings" with my hubbie, of course. (Hehe, for my last long trip, I actutally went without him.) We join a local active adventure tour for 2 weeks and then we will spend a couple of days in the cities.

To prepare for the trip, we
* bought travel insurance!
* checked out the list of gears needed for the adventure tour
* added SUNBLOCK, DEETS OFF, and moleskin to the list
* rushed to the library to get tour books on NZ
* went through the list of (first-aid) medications we would bring
* went shopping for light-weight, dry-fast clothings
* went shopping for medications
* went again for more medications after talking with a friend who went there before
* went shopping for more clothings
* went again shopping for more clothings (REI had a 35% off sales!)
* went shopping for spare camera battery and spare CF
* went shopping for a converter/adapter
* went shopping for travel kits
* checked constantly against the list to see if anyting is missing
* checked that we have daypacks and hydration systems
* attended a local NZ tour presentation @ local library

Before actually leaving the country, we are already broke :P
