The Next Step

Within the space of a few days, we are going to hit the halfway mark on the span of our time here in New Zealand.  We've been here in this parallel universe for 6 months now, and over the course we've met a bunch of great people and become pretty well adjusted to our lives in New Zealand.  Our summer of freedom and discovery is just around the corner, and after putting away a hefty chunk of money Kayleigh and I are definitely ready to get the party started.  With all that excitement looming on the horizon,  we need to get one more thing out of the way so as to really free our minds for the fun ahead.  That is, what will our next step be when it comes time for us to leave New Zealand?   

Since arriving here, we have made plans, changed plans, and dropped plans about 624,567 times.  Suffice it to say we've spent a great deal of time in the brainstorming process.  Well, we have finally made up our minds and taken some concrete actions towards turning our plans into a reality.  Yesterday we received an e-mail from Australian immigration stating that our work and holiday visa applications had been accepted and our e-visas have been granted.  You heard it here folks, come April Kayleigh and I will be hopping the pond to the land of Oz to continue what has become a fantastic and redefining life experience abroad.  Only this time around, we'll be doing a fair chunk of traveling before settling down to recharge the wallet.  This will give us the opportunity to choose where we want to live after having been there, and we're excited at the chance to choose a new place to call home.  Kangaroos, endless sunshine and vegemite await.  

We hit the road on December 1st, and there will be plenty more to talk about.  We miss and love you all.  Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween.
