New Zealand Top List

I met with my friend, Torey this week to make a tentative plan. I don't want to be so organized that I have to rush from place to place, especially in a location like New Zealand. So we decided to make a list of the top things we wanted to do. The most important are listed first. We only have two weeks so we can't do everything...hence the list. Let me know what you think!

1. Paragliding
2. Glow worm caves
3. Visit Rotorua (geothermal wonders and Maori culture)
4. Zorbing - rolling down a hill in an inflatable ball, like a hamster
5. Ice climbing/heli-hiking
6. Find penguins
7. One night in a farmstay/homestay
8. Milford Sound
9. Whale watching
10. Diving
11. Kayak
12. Bungee Jumping
13. Nature's Wonders Naturally-a tour by four-wheeler that gets up close views of fur seals and penguins

Of course we are also going to hike like crazy! I'm not ready to go just yet though. I still have a pre-trip to do list. Here it is:

* book a hotel for the first night
* check out car/health insurance
* email tentative interest with activity companies
* find out what resources are in the RV (such as pots and pans)
* book a hostel in Singapore
* confirm ferry reservation

It is already June and before I know it I will be packing. I'm actually so excited about this trip that I kinda want to start packing now. It is too soon, but maybe I will start tomorrow.
