So I had vague ideas about getting to NYC this year and it looks like that probably won't happen as my friends who live there are elsewhere in the world. Then my plans for trip to Colombia are being thwarted as the private tour my friend and I were planning to do isn't available (and there are specific dates and stuff which is rather difficult to fit in because of her).. so now... I am thinking New Zealand solo .. or ... ideas?

Sydney isn't that much further than NZ.
Just saying....

Depending when, you could catch up with me in the outback, near Byron Bay or in Solomon Islands!

I am now waiting to hear what my travel buddy thinks about a 38 day trip through Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. It hits places I haven't seen previously (except for Quito) and it isn't priced outrageously. It is the only trip I have found which fits her time line. And my Spanish is good enough that we could probably travel independently.. but not sure if I have the energy and / or desire to be the translator. The Solomon Islands made me sit up straight.. and go hmmmm... lots to contemplate.

Sophie, if you'd like to visit Solomon Islands, I can organise it for you. In 2 1/2 years, I would be free to come with you whenever you please.
I'll probably be back there in January.

Compromises made, and travel plans more or less organized for this winter. I will go to Hawaii (just Oahu) with a friend for a week next month, then in late February, I will go to Colombia, meeting another friend there for a few weeks. Promises have been kept, I will get some sun and heat. I will do a couple week adventure tour in Colombia as part of my time there. I am getting near the end of my ability to travel in that style and do all that fun stuff, so I will be enjoying this. I will leave the Antipodes and other places in the South Pacific for another winter. Thanks so much, Ozzie.. I may take you up on your kind offer another time. And Hal, returning to Australia is in my long term plans for sure!

Sophie if you find yourself in Colombia in Jan/Feb 2018, let me know. I might be there if you want to meet up.

Tinja, that would be cool.. but I am leaving home at the end of Feb, so I think we will miss each other... but that would have been fun!
