'To Do' list

I recently graduated from Murray State University, and by recently I'm talking less than 2 weeks ago. The thing that's getting me through this winter (and living back home with my parents) is that AUS and NZ are less than  2 months away!

The thing I've been stressing out the most is saving the money.  LP and I have been working our tails off the past couple of months to make sure we're set. But fortunately for LP she''s a smart spender, a smart saver and a frugal budgeter... I am not those thing so, it's a work in progress. I think being money-smart is a learned habit and right now I'm in the middle of crash course.

In the next week or so LP and I need to so some SERIOUS planning. Our itinerary as of now is a scribbled list I have in some old notebook, somewhere.... wish us luck!

We like Kiwis

What's a stereotypical first blog post? How do I start out? Is that the first line? What about... Hi my name is? What I'm going to write about today is... Dear Diary...

Freaking no, assholes. This is going to be my first attempt at a damn travel blog, please bear with me.

My best friend, Lauren Perry (aka LP) and I ARE GOING TO NEW ZEALAND! What the what?!

We fly out Valentine's day 2013! Granted I realize that this may be a little bit early to start blogging--but I figure might as well get used to writing as much as possible!
