Hello again, fellow adventurers! It’s time for another update as we edge closer to the start of our epic road trip across the stunning landscapes of New Zealand. Today, I want to take you on a journey through the bittersweet process of packing up our home and eagerly awaiting the arrival of our brand-new Kiwi-made motorhome.
As we bid farewell to the cozy confines of our Taupō home, a mix of emotions swirl within us. Sure, there’s a tinge of nostalgia as we reminisce about the memories made within these walls, the laughter shared, and the love that has filled every corner of our home. But more than anything, there’s an overwhelming sense of excitement bubbling beneath the surface – the kind of excitement that comes with knowing that new adventures await just around the corner.
We sold our home last year in anticipation of this momentous journey, and the wait for our custom-built motorhome has felt like an eternity. But now, as the days grow shorter and the anticipation reaches its peak, we can hardly contain our excitement. The thought of hitting the open road, of waking up to new vistas, and of immersing ourselves in the beauty of Aotearoa fills us with boundless joy.
Of course, there are things we’ll miss about our home – the tranquil serenity of my beloved garden, the familiar sights and sounds of our neighbourhood, and the comfort of routine. But as we prepare to embark on this new chapter of our lives, we’re filled with a sense of freedom and possibility that far outweighs any lingering nostalgia.
And then there’s Harley, our faithful companion of thirteen years, who will be joining us on this grand adventure. As we pack up our belongings, his tail wags in anticipation, his eyes shining with excitement at the prospect of exploring new territories alongside his beloved humans.
So, as we bid goodbye to our home sweet home and eagerly await the arrival of our motorhome – our ticket to freedom and adventure – we do so with hearts full of gratitude for the memories we’ve made and hearts brimming with excitement for the adventures that lie ahead.
Until next time
