We're off!

This morning we will be leaving for our whirlwind trip around the North Island. There's lots on the agenda: Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World in Auckland, the Waitomo Caves, Tongariro National Park, Lake Taupo, & Rotorua. We have our own sets of wheels (courtesey of Dr. Jess), a guide book in hand, and of course an excellent map of NZ. We don't think we'll have opportunities to upload our adventures to the Blog, but we'll be taking lots of pictures for your later viewing pleasure. We return to Te Aroha Tuesday afternoon New Zealand time.
