On our way

And so we being our big adventure. As I write, we sit in the lounge at LAX watching some big game of American football but dreaming of the southern hemisphere, smooth highways, glorious glaciers, and bicycles. For the next two weeks we will be Touring around New Zealand's South Island, self-supported, without any reservations or significant plans.  We have never done this kind of thing before, and let me tell you, I am excited. Hopefully we will be able to post awesome pictures on this blog as we go. Otherwise, allocating 1/15th of our self-imposed gear weight limit to the iPad will not have been a good choice.

Wish us luck.
