In August 2023, I got to cross off a big, big item on my bucket list: I went to Middle-earth. We traveled throughout Aotearoa (New Zealand) for 3 weeks. It was, in a word, unbelievable. Here is a summary of our trip, from the notes I wrote as we explored. And if you’re just here for the pretty pictures, no worries – I’ve got a slideshow for each day. You can’t miss them. 😉

More later when I actually get the chance to write and post photos, but holy shit I loved New Zealand.

We’re going to New Zealand!!! I’ve got my carry-on packed other than my RA meds, which require refrigeration. Music, movies, books downloaded. Knitting project packed. Receipts and confirmations downloaded onto my phone. Passports are packed. WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO NEW ZEALAND HOLY SHIT WTF!!!!!!!

So in *checks watch* less than two weeks we leave for New Zealand. I’m getting the pre-trip butterflies, but I’m so, so very excited.
