One more week!

Only 1 week until I fly out of Whitehorse- I am excited and very anxious all at the same time. I have this sense of panic that I will forget something crucial, and that I am going to be stuck in New Zealand scrambling...though I am sure it won't happen (ooh the power of positive thought!!)
So yeah, I fly to Calgary to see my mom and dad next Sunday, and then get to spend the following two weeks in Eastend- thought that I would hate it there, but in a strange way, it's almost my ideal place for a break! I can't wait to see my mom and dad, and it's going to be nice to not have to work, or really to have to do anything!
After Christmas we head to my aunt and uncle's house in Brooks AB where we are going to spend New Years. I also can't wait to see them...it's going to be perfect.
I fly to New Zealand on January 03, which is going to be a crazy long day:
Calgary to Vancouver; depart at 7:45, arrive at 8:13
Vancouver to LA; depart at 12:05, arrive at 2:55pm
LA to Auckland; depart at 7:45pm, arrive at 5:00am- I mean, it's only a 12.5 hour flight! I am really going to struggle keeping track of this time zone thing!
Anyway, the day includes 17 hrs of fly time, though with airport time, it works out to about a 27 hr day.....that's not so bad....YIKES!!!
Ooh well, at least I have 4 months to recoup before doing it again (and the way home is way shorter!)
In the end, it's all going to be worth it, so I am definitely not complaining!
