So the final-ish plands for the trip are:
arrive in Auckland around may 10th, and spend about 3 days there. Catch a bus up to Paihia and spend about a week traveling around that area (90 mile beach etc etc). Catch a bus to Rotorua and spend 5 or 6 days around that area, the catch a bus to Napier, where i'll spend a few days, then fly down to wanaka from there around may 31st. Then, i'll have a few weeks to find a place to live, and start job training, and most likely be living on ramen noodles and kraft dinner. Travel around wanaka will depend entirely on the time i can get off of work, how much money I have left, etc etc. so those are the plans, and I've become completely obsessed with this trip, woot.

I'm going to France and Spain spring of '07 for 10 days.
Getting trashed every night. I know some people here probably live in France. Hit me up and we'll have a good time.

haha, in that case i'll get on it. at some point. be prepared to spend a lot though, even if you backpack and stay in campsites and hostels, everything there is so expensive, but the good thing is that its such a small country, so you can get around and see a lot in a relatively short time. Go to Reykjavik for sure, I've been to tons of beautiful cities around the world, and reykjavik remains my favorite by far. Also, I'd suggest going up and visiting some of the northern towns, I saw Akuereyri, small-ish town way in the north, and Husavik, only a few hours drive away, which was amazing, because that's the village my family came from. I actually saw the exact farm that my great grandfather lived on before he came to canada with his mom and two sisters after his father died at sea, it was really something. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, so take tons of pictures. It's impossible to describe how strange the landscape is until you see pictures. Basically there's every kind of landscape you can immagine all within an hour or so drive. definitely go to iceland, you wont be dissapointed.
and I just realized I forgot to include india in the places I've been to, i'll post some of those pics too.
