The to do list is still rather long, but last week we got our visas for the USA, so now there’s no rush to see it all in 90 days.
This week we booked our flights to Alaska.
Now we just need to find a long-term cat-sitter…

(more…)It is not every day when you find yourselves locked out of your vehicle in the middle of bear country, surrounded by hungry mosquitos, rain clouds threatening and several miles from civilization. At least we hope it’s not. We’ve learned our lesson… we hope. Finally, we are on the road! But heading in the wrong direction. With a plan to head North to officially ‘start’ our trip in Deadhorse, the ‘Flightless Kiwis’ thing to do is head South instead. We had decided that since we quite like comfort and luxury we would splash out on a roof top tent. So while we waited for that to arrive, we headed South to the Kenai peninsula to explore. Our first night on the road was spent in Bird Creek, a very nice state camp site in Turnagain Arm. A night with a warm fire, clear skies, great views and delicious beer got us off to a positive start for our journey.

Whoo hoo! Good work on the visas, must be a relief. And a big “to do” check mark!
Yes, one thing (of many) of the list. Now to finish some more of the renovations…
Another step closer to the dream. I bet you’re getting quite excited.
Actually had to make up a new word to describe our state of mind. Went with excitified. (Describes being somewhere on the spectrum between excited and terrified!) 🙂
