A Silly Grin in NZ #2

Just an update - I thought I'd give you all a look at where we're hoping/planning to go!
Well was hoping to - turns out the blog website doesn't upload PDFs! Hah... I knew that!  Oh well, I'll save it as a gif, tiff or jpeg and revisit this task.


Everything that can be done has been done...


Book & pay for airfares - tick!
Pay deposit for HDs - tick!
Book hotel for first two nights -  tick!
Sort out route with sites to see - tick!
List of gear to take - tick!
Bore everyone at work to death with trip details - tick!


Bikes are booked from the friendly team at Bartell's Route 66.  Harley Davidson Street Glide - these bikes are made for the big long open roads, deserts to forest to passing through cities. I'm looking forward to riding these beasts! Glenn is real helpful, it will be great to meet him. Nev & I have elected to take out the extra $300,000 liability.  Apparently the standard $3,000 compulsory state tax just won't cut it if we have a little woopsy!


The Custom Hotel has been booked, free WIFI, yay! $25 extra for a crib & refrigerator? Crib? Not sure what it is but I don't think I want one. Not far away is Marina Del Ray, Muscle Beach and a bit further down the road is Santa Monica and a bit further again is Malibu. I'm there for the first night and joined by Nev, Phil & Murray on the 2nd.


I have a feeling that these next 6 weeks are going to be long weeks, then the next 23 days will just fly by! Isn't that the way...


Back soon - till then watch the front wheels of the car along side you!
