Utopia!
The time has arrived to check off another item on our bucket list. We will be offline during the first five days in April to hike the Milford Track, a 54 kilometer (33.5 mile) trail through New Zealand's beautiful fiord country. If paradise is a place where cell phones don't work, we'll certainly have explored it.

I am jealous! Matt - Frank Hill from ATTB did this hike with his daughter near the end of our term there. He showed me the pictures and I have wanted to do it since. The closest I have come to camping lately was spending the night in O'Hare due to cancelled flights on my way to Richmond, VA. I'm thinking NZ is more fun.
Steve - Thanks for the comment! We have successfully completed the hike...10.5 miles on day one, 9.5 miles on day two, and 13.5 miles on day three. We have a load of pictures to go through and will share some in the near future. Soon you'll be able to scroll through our images while awaiting delayed and cancelled flights - What a joy that will be! :)
Interesting that it was O'Hare that got you. We stopped flying through Chicago about a decade ago because of consistent delays and cancelations. The lower price for flights laying over in Chicago seemed to come at a high cost in terms of lost vacation time.
