In just a few short hours I will be on my way to New Zealand. After so many false starts it's a little surreal to actually be on my way. I will be flying from Seattle to San Francisco where I have a solid 5 hour layover till I leave tonight at 9pm. I then arrive into Auckland at 5:30am Friday morning. Then on to Wellington where I will be staying for the next three months. I hope to update this blog as often as I have stories to fill it, but since for now I am still in Bellingham I will leave you with some tantalizing facts about New Zealand. New Zealand is roughly the size of Colorado, but has a population of 4 million people and 40 million sheep. To become a New Zealand citizen you must swear an oath of loyalty to Queen Elizabeth II. New Zealanders get almost 70% of their energy from renewable resources. And lastly, New Zealand was home to the worlds first commercial bungy jump in 1988.
