Let it begin...

Well, everything has to start somewhere, that is just a fact. So here I sit, in my parents home wondering what I am going to do with my self. Of course I can't sleep, tomorrow at some ungodly hour I have to be up and on... But New Zealand is in sight, after a couple of airports and way too many line ups. Hurry up and wait, that is all I can say.

The fire in the wood stove is still burning brightly, it will the be the simple things I will miss most I think, a fridge full of food, knowing where I am, friends and family. I know that I will meet so many people and see such amazing sights, but I still find it daunting. Maybe that is why I am going, to do something that deep down, scares me.

My first stop is Vancouver, my plans are simple, WALKING! I am going to do my best to walk all over central Vancouver and see the city from the ground up, in 8 hours. Wish me luck!
