The Journey Begins

Greetings to friends and family interested in keeping up-to-date on our travels.

We have started this blog as both a journal for ourselves, and as a way to keep our friends and families in the loop on our adventures around the globe.   We have called it 'Knotty Travellers' as we have just tied the knot, and we are now setting out on our long-anticipated global honeymoon.


We have been saving and scheming for this trip for some time now, and to say that we are very excited that it is finally coming to fruition is an understatement.  We are grateful to the many who contributed generously to our upcoming travels through our Honeyfund registry.  The time has now come for us to begin our long-awaited journey.

Our official departure from Canada comes in only 9 days!  We leave for Los Angeles on September 15th, and then off To Fiji the following day.  We have about a week in Fiji, and then head to Samoa for a week before getting to New Zealand on October 1st.  During this time we will cross the international date line 3 times, so we look forward to not only travel geographically, but apparently travel through time as well!  We are super excited, but also a bit nervous.  We have LOTS to do to prepare.  It is amazing how much work is involved in planning a trip like this.  But for better or worse, we will be departing in only 9 days, and will be blogging as much as possible once we hit the road.

We hope this can be a bit of an interactive forum, but are new to this blog site, so please bear with us as we figure things out.  We are excited, and we hope you enjoy this blog as a way to communicate and stay up to date on our activities.


Cheers,
Aus & Kim aka The Knotty Travellers
