Planning for the South Seas

Rick and I will begin the "adventure of a lifetime" on January 5 as we begin our cruise through the South Pacific for 60 days. We will have limited and slow Internet access, so we're blogging, since we can create offline and then cut and paste. We hope you will join us for the adventure.

We're currently planning and gathering all the stuff we'll need to be gone for 8+ weeks. In addition, we're trying to make everything fit in 4 suitcases. We have to pack for the tropics, as well as New Zealand and Australia.
