A Year On ( + )

Well, it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything up to the ol' blog here, but it's time to get back to work. There is another trip in the works now. The next destination was pretty much chosen during my last trip while riding about. I figured I've seen a great big part of my own country (and not just from this trip) and that it's time to reach out and see the rest of this world. I decided that I'd try to go to New Zealand. Why there? I think it was probably while leafing through a National Geographic as a child and daydreaming about being there in some photo. So now, I'm about to make that a reality.

I did some preliminary calendar checking and I've started with the 12/30/2010 as a departure from the States. However, after doing some reading on the Lonely Planet site, I found that things can get a bit crowded during this time of the year. True, since it will be full on Summer at that point. Right now, I'm contemplating an April arrival, you know, the whole "Happy Birthday" to me kind of deal. But everything is still flexible. From week to week I'll be trying to do updates. This will make me give due diligence to research and get my blog updated.

In addition to that, I plan on updating the layout on here from the default style and something a bit more personalized. While it might not be obvious, some of the pictures have been cut off since the style provided by Blogger forces certain sizes. I plan on remedying that!

One last note for any of those are still reading or just happen by, I've started and completed many of the videos from the past trip. Right now, I've only got a few more to complete (6 more mabye) and this trip will be behind me. Kind of bittersweet.

Anyway, here's a link to all the movies so far:
