1 week to go!!

We leave a week from today (September 7th)! For the first two weeks we will be in Te Puke (pronounced teh-pooke-eh) which is the Kiwi capital of the world. It is located in the Bay of Plenty and is only a few miles from the ocean. We are WWOOFING for the first few months which is a volunteer organization in which you exchange labor for room and board. Our first family is a retired couple in their 50's who own a farm and a kiwi orchard. We will be helping out in both places and sleeping in their guest room. I am so excited and will post more when I get there!
