So after 3 years of staying in NZ we have taken the plunge and decided it is now time to travel internationally again.

Well we couldn’t before now as the borders were closed due to Covid. Now they are beginning to open up again and giving us the chance to travel again.

Where should we go first. Our first thought was to test the waters and go to Australia. Having done ‘the big tour’ in 2007 where did we want to go. We couldn’t decide so obviously we weren’t ment to go there for our first trip.

How about an extended tour of the USA?

I filled out the visa application, but the first available appointment was in October. I also researched the cost of hiring/buying a campervan. Renting for an extended time was expensive and buying seemed too problematic in the short term.
