iPhone up and running....
Figured out how to get onto new Zealands public, pay as you go wifi. Now I can properly waste away the trip of a lifetime by staring at my iPhone all day. Success!
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
more travel blog updates.....

So Ive criss crossed around the North Island of New Zealand for the last 12 days.  I would not say I have truly entered Middle Earth, but the LOTR’s references are unavoidable down here.  Take the most beautiful scenery you have experienced, and then remove all of the people, and then insert some more beauty making steroids, and that is what the New Zealand coastline is like….and they are more famous for their mountains.

Im presently in Raglan, the surfer capital of the country.  Its what you’d expect a surfer town to be like.  Hope all is well in tumblrdom.

The mind-numbing nothingness of scrolling through my dashboard is sadly unacceptable when paying a buck for every ten minutes of interweb time here in NZ.  I trust you kids are still posting some good shit.
is there anything other than rugby on??
I know, I know, when in Rome…..blah blah blah.  Rugby is just not my thing.  I could really use a few hours of Yanks v. Mets tonight.  Then again, based on what Im reading about the Mets it looks like its been a rough weekend.  I may be an American apologist at times while abroad, but I will never apologize for the American sports world which is simply better than anything abroad.
Decisions, decisions, decisions....
more from the first few days in Auckland and my preparation to move onward from the city.
least to most annoying nationalities on the backpacker circuit

my first impressions this time around, although I’d say that these rankings are based on quite a few nights in hostels….

1. Chileans (so nice).
2. Spaniards
3. Dutch/Belgians
4. Isrealis
5. English
6. Australians
100. Irish

Auckland!
so my fellow Tumblrs, I am in Auckland, NZ and will from now on devote most of this blog to my travels. Unfortunately, the feeds from every travelblog format I have found do not easily work with Tumblr. So I’ll be posting the links from my travel blog. You’ll have to link through to get all the details. I’ll still keep making individual posts on tumblr, but the meat and potatos of the travels will be through my travellerspoint blog.
And lastly....

As I wait to board, I’ll drag the sentimental thank yous out one more time.

To my high school crew, what a great road trip out to Chicago, followed by 2 nights of phish in Wisconsin. There are few things better than knowing that 10-15 years after we all started the party, you still connect with your oldest friends;

To my LA friends, I announce I need a couch for a night and I get more offers than I need. I’d never trade the east village for Venice beach, but it ain’t a bad trade for one day;

And finally to jess, you have supported me more than I ever thought you would and I truly don’t know what I wouldve done without you.

Thanks everyone….time to turn the iPhone off for (gasp) a few months. I’ll have my travelblog up shortly.

Peace

Ugh
This kiwi accent is already starting to wear on me, and I’ve only checked into my air new Zealand flight. Ok I’ll stop bitching.
