The waiting game

---

It’s almost here, only one day until I leave for New Zealand. I have been looking forward to this moment since I first got the idea to go to New Zealand to live and work for a year. I am completely ready to go except for the fact that I haven't packed yet. Everything is clean and ready to go I just have yet to go through the actual process of putting my things into my suitcase. Packing for an entire year creates a slight dilemma however because it is quite hard to figure out everything I will need for a year. I am trying not to bring too much, but a year is a long time and what if I decide not to pack that pair of sweats and then later on I realize how much I need them. Then again, I’m not going to the moon, I will be able to buy things I forget or decide to leave behind. Anyway, I mainly wanted to see how, exactly, this travel journal worked. Hope everyone is doing well and next time you hear from me I will be in New Zealand.

That's right. We've done it again. We out-partied all those sonsabitches, out drank them, out danced them, out sang them. A few of them did put the boots to us in the tournament, though. We still ended up 3rd. Keep up the journal, and safe travels! Cheers, Mark
