So what am I going to do on my sabbatical?

Traveling to someplace that I've never been -- Australia & New Zealand.  Originally I thought I would spend most of my time in New Zealand and end my journey in Tahiti -- but after doing some research, I decided on the following itinerary:


  • 6 nights in Sydney, Australia
  • 4 nights in Auckland, New Zealand
  • 21 nights in an RV touring New Zealand.  My plan is to travel NZ from head to toe (so North Island & South Island) -- but I'm leaving it all open.  The only thing pre-planned is the ferry crossing between the 2 islands.  I'll pick the RV up in Auckland (North Island) and drop it off in Christchurch (South Island).
  • 8 nights in Nelson, New Zealand
  • 1 transit night in Auckland, New Zealand
  • 12 nights in Tasmania, Australia
  • 5 nights in Darwin, Australia
  • 1 night on "The Ghan" -- train trip from Darwin to Alice Springs
  • 6 nights exploring the Outback (including Uluru/Ayers Rock)
  • 1 night in Adelaide, Australia
  • 2 nights on Kangaroo Island, Australia
  • 5 nights driving the Great Ocean Road (Adelaide --> Melbourne)
  • 15 nights in Melbourne, Australia
  • 1 transit night in Sydney, Australia
