New Zealand was at the top of our travel bucket list so when we had the excuse of a honeymoon, we went all out and spent the most magnificent two weeks exploring the North and South islands of New Zealand and Rarotonga and Aitutaki of the Cook Islands.

I spent A LONG time planning this trip, making sure we made time for everything we wanted to see and do. You know how vacations sometimes feel like they go by too quickly? Yeah, that was definitely NOT the case here. While, of course, we wish we had even more time to spend exploring, we had fit so much into our itinerary that it was actually.. satisfying.

Over the next few days (or weeks.. months?), I’ll be writing posts, detailing our trip day by day, wondering why I ever let our time in NZ end.. 😢
