So its a very long easter weekend, coupled with Anzac Day. Now most people who know me know that I always travel to Sydney for Anzac Day over the last few years to spend some time with relatives and also pay tribute to the fallen at the morning service. The last two years though I have done something different. I have marched in the Parade to honour my Grandfather. This year I will again do the same, with a bit of a difference.

Since my parents are not joining me in Sydney this year (since it falls over easter and they are themselves away on the Gold Coast) I am heading off to New Zealand. Why go to Sydney via New Zealand, put simply, Because I can.

I will be posting a full Trip Report including planning and everything upon my return but this way you will know why I am a little bit quiet over the next few days. I am switching off Data on my phone so will only be hitting up Twitter etc if I can find a free WiFi hot spot around the place (which I am sure won’t be that common). Luckily I have my (new) ipod synced with heaps of music, movies etc and a good book to finish (and an excuse to buy a new one if i finish this one while away).

Otherwise I will be back in touch with life on Sunday night when I get into Sydney.. Till then… Catch ya on the flip!
