What a busy last few days... We leave tomorrow to New Zealand and are excited and nervous at the same time. We had a barbecue over the weekend to say goodbye to friends and family. Thanks to everyone who came to see us off! Tons of yummy food and lots of fun.

The rest of the weekend was spent trying to relax and finish packing. We are only taking 1 large backpack and 1 smaller bag each. Packing for a year really isn't that hard, just pack for 10 days or so and you will just do a lot of laundry. I tried to make sure every skirt/shorts/pants match with every top. I'm going to get super sick of wearing the same stuff all the time. New Zealand is hard to pack for also, because you really need clothes for every season. Lots of layers. I managed to fit everything I wanted to take:
Monday: Airport time!
This is us at the airport with our bags and my parents seeing us off:
Spending some time in Las Vegas has been a nice vacation before our vacation. We're staying at the Luxor, which is pretty nice. We've eaten good food, had some drinks, gambled a little bit, hung out by the pool, the usual Vegas stuff. Its been pretty cold though, only a high of 65 both days, and I left my new hoodie somewhere between the airport lobby and the security checkpoint in Albuquerque.
So tomorrow afternoon we head to Los Angeles, then a five hour layover, and then we fly to Auckland at 10pm. Longest day ever. Long distance travel always takes a lot out of you, so hopefully we'll be able to get some sleep on the plane. I usually like flying Air NZ.
Next update will be from New Zealand!
