Off to the South Pacific

The next stage in our adventure begins. The past six months of our "travels" (ie. Southern Ontario... if you can call that "travels") have been fun but likely less evenful than the next 6 months. Although, I did pick up kiteboarding here, as Southern Ontario is somewhat of a hotspot for the sport with all the Great Lake beaches. And we did make some great new friends along the way, whom we are sad to leave behind. But tomorrow we depart for the real adventure. After packing up our house and travelling 26 hours with 2 kids, 7 suitcases, a kiteboard, 2 car seats, a stroller, and about 100lb of carry-ons, we'll start with 5 days of much needed relaxation in Fiji. It should be cool being in the first time zone to welcome the new year. Then we are off to New Zealand for 6 months, just in time for their summer. I'll try to post more in the New Year as Heather has been the main contributor so far. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Got to go pack my board shorts (oh yeah, and I might need a shirt and tie for work).
