Let's do this!

Whatever way I managed to come across this appetite for the many things in life I love to devour (food, wine, travel, writing, food-wine-travel writing) there has yet to be a way to sedate the hunger. And I certainly won't be the one to deny the cravings. 

As most of my travels have been inspired in some way, shape or form, by food, this one stood out as slightly different. My most recent trip to New Zealand was one of pure adventure. Okay, okay, the Sauv Blancs of Marlborough and the Pinots from Otago snuck their way on my top 5 things to do before skydiving, white water rafting, cave abseiling, kayaking and hiking but hey, like I said, the hunger, I can't deny it.  

So, because the trip was not totally inspired by my obsession with all things edible, it stands out from prior escapades. However, I will start with this particular trip because it was the first time in my life, (thanks to Katie H. my travel partner in crime) that I ever thought of publishing my travel journals. 

So I guess it wasn't all that surprising that I find myself, yet again, depleting my bank account for my ever increasing and expensive habit. Justifying  my spending of 2 and half years of savings that I worked 6 days a week to attain. And all with a click of a button. LA to NZ March 31 to April 28, 2009. Let the devouring begin.
