Leaving North America



Well, we are about two thirds of the way through our journey to New Zealand, just having landed in Fiji after a 10 and a half hour flight that granted us little, if any, quality sleep, so we're running on excitement alone (helped along with a little coffee of course).  Only one three hour flight remains between us and our ultimate destination.  
It still hasn't sunk in that this is anything more than a weeklong vacation, however in this whirlwind of emotions that the final week leading up to this trip has been for us, I have already learned (or been reminded rather) of something vital.  That is, never take your friends and family for granted.  Walking into SFO and watching the car drive away left me reflecting on everything I'm leaving behind, and anticipating every new experience to come.  It was a somber moment, but an unbelievably exciting one at the same time, and of course a little intimidating and scary.  
So, as we said last time, we are extremely gracious of all the love and support we have received from everyone, and we miss you already.  Just as many of you are thinking of us, have no doubt we are thinking of you too.  We are bringing you on this adventure with us.
