Welcome!

Hi everyone,

This blog is meant to update our friends and family on our whereabouts, activities, and thoughts, from the beginning (now) to when we return in Spring/Summer of '09.

Being citizens of different countries hasn't made for an easy relationship, but it has made things interesting and adventuresome. We've visited each other, traveled through Central America together, lived together briefly in Brighton (when I was fortunate enough to get a temporary work visa), and now we found one more way to be together before we settle down somewhere permanently.

So as soon as our Working Holiday Visas are finally approved (or even before, if it comes to it), we will jet off to the "other" land down under, New Zealand. There, we will find a city that we like, get jobs, and live like locals for a whole 12 months. Sometime, either in the middle or after, we are also hoping to also see some of Australia. I lived in Perth while in university, but Rory has never been. And maybe, just maybe, we'll manage to get to Rapa Nui (Easter Island), which would be incredible.

Keep checking this, as we write about the trials, tribulations, and joys of this entire crazy process!

Much love.
