Hello everyone! We're excited to be celebrating our wedding with you this fall (it's getting close now!). When the wedding festivities are over, we'll be heading back to San Diego to wait for summer to arrive in the southern hemisphere. We've been talking about going to New Zealand for a few years now, and we've finally found the perfect opportunity. :) As soon as the weather warms up enough for us to hike, we'll be heading off to the green hills of New Zealand!

We're going to New Zealand!

After a long long flight over the Pacific Ocean and a serious reminder to drive on the left side of the road, we will be exploring the beautiful landscapes of the Southern Island of New Zealand. Starting in the northern part of the island, we'll be kayaking, hiking, exploring wine country, and relaxing. We'll make our way south, hiking to glaciers, backpacking along one of New Zealand's Great Walks, and hopefully seeing a few penguins near the coastline. Along the way, we'll be sure to document our trip to share it all with you when we return!
