Kia ora

My first glimpse of New Zealand. 

Spectacular!

My bags are packed....

My bags are packed and I’m ready to go.

They’re waiting here at my front door and I can’t wait to start out on my way.

When the dawn is breaking in the early dawn

I’ll go where I’ve ne’er been before and wave good bye to this life for a while.

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane…..

(apologies to John Denver)

Firsts

I have embarked on a series of firsts:

I applied for my first passport.
I organised my first travel money card.
I received my first international airline ticket.

I am going overseas for the very first time - just a short hop over 'The Ditch' to the South Island of New Zealand with my son and his family, visiting Timaru and Queenstown.

The countdown is on...
