making it work

The dice made the decision in a Rhineheart stylee(it was a 3 btw): London - LA -, Fiji, Rarotonga - Auckland- Christchurch then overland to Dunedin. Think i'll buy a car inspired by my mate craig a 70's V8 holden estate in brown would seem to fit the bill and drive down from Auckland.

So flights have been confirmed i leave bonnie edinburgh my home town for the last 13 years on Jan 26th for oceania first stop: Fiji for a while probably a month then then onto Rarotonga for another month or see how it goes - slightly concerned i won't be able to get to Samoa and Tonga but will worry about that when i'm there, i'm sure i'll be able to hook up or get some cheap flights/ferries/back of a turtle to enable some island hoping.

To say i'm looking forward to it would be an understatement.

Think i'll spend some time in london and hook up with some old friends for a while before i head to Heathrow.

Now comes the time for logistics - have to organise kit, shipping my dry suit, wing regs and winter kit over to Kiwi Ks in Dunedin, not to mention selling all my worldly goods anyone want to buy a car / flat / saucepan /brush?

alternatively Plan B............................................ and let the laws of randomness take me. I'm sure Tom Weir would be proud even if i don't have a bobbly hat.

Anyway to kick things off here's a rather smug map.
