Project Honeymoon - Day 1: YVR

It's finally here!  Our honeymoon.  Hubby and I are just chilling out at the Maple Leaf lounge at YVR before our flight in a couple of hours.  Hubby agreed to be at the airport 3 hours early so ensure we made it safely on our flight.  There was no way I was going to miss this flight...even more so being we are on business class (thank you Aeroplan points!).

Today was such a whirlwind with last minute packing.  I finally settled on what clothes I wanted to bring.  Initially, I selected clothes which were easy to wash.  Unfortunately, this meant that I would be on my honeymoon in rather unflattering clothes, so I caved in and brought some of my favourites instead.  I normally don't pack my treasured clothes on trips for fear of losing them, but this time, wanting to feel good in my clothes was enough to change my mind.

Travelling to New Zealand in the Spring also presents challenges because the temperatures are so varied.  So I have everything from snowpants to tank tops.  I wouldn't have bothered with snowpants if not for the glacier hike we have in Franz Josef.  Hubby and I have gone hiking in snow before without the proper gear and it gets pretty miserable when you can't feel your legs.

So here we go...this is Day 1 of our 3-week trip.  Our flight is about 14 hours and we arrive in Auckland early in the morning on Saturday.  My plan is to blog everyday...one, so that I have my own travel keepsake of our trip...and two, so people back home know we're still alive and safe while away...lol.

A friend had said I should post pictures of our pods in business class...you shall have your wish tomorrow :)
