Middle Earth, Here I Come

I'm leaving work a couple of hours early today to head to the airport, as my friends and I are flying to New Zealand for Chip & Mickey's wedding.

I'm pretty excited about the whole thing, partially because of the wedding, but also just because I've been wanting to check out New Zealand. I actually used to have the view that I didn't really need to go to New Zealand as I'd seen the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy at least once and that's pretty much the same experience, but then I realized that this time I will be drunk, which is completely different. I was only tipsy when I watched the movies.

We're flying back in on some painfully early flight in the morning on Tuesday, basically because we're all busy at work and out of annual leave days and will be heading to the office that day. To offset that misery, I've made sure to book a business class seat on the way back, I'll let you know if it was worth my frequent flyer points.

Photo album coming soon, most likely, although my camera was making some VERY funny noises last night and I've yet to confirm that it still works. I should never own anything expensive...
