Ready....set...

And in one month its GO! All plans are now finalised, hotel booked, tickets paid and soon we're off to Italy. It is that time again, time to fly half-way around the world to meet family (this time it's my girlfriends family). We'll only be staying for 3 weeks (my fault as I have to back to Uni), but we will eventually wander over there permanently, but that's another story alltogether.

The journey will take us via Japan (Narita) - I know what you're thinking "why on Earth would you fly to Europe from New Zealand via Japan?", but it was a lot cheaper than any other option available. Well, apart from flying via the U.S. but I'm not too keen on all the restrictions and delays that comes with a transit through the good ol' US of A - if I were to stay a bit in the U.S. then it would be a different story. Plus this way we get to spend a night in a traditional Japanese inn in the city of Narita, which is only 10 minutes from the airport. More about that once we've been there. Then it's on to Bologna where we will land late at night to a waiting pizza. I kid you not, her parents have promised to have a couple of freshly baked pizzas at home waiting for us, how cool is that? I love her family almost as much as I do her.

In order to document the journey I have finally decided to take the plunge and buy the Chotto Shot (Go! Cam), so it should be here later next week at which time I will post my first experiences with it, and the Go! Edit software which I have already downloaded (thanks to PSPFanboy). Pictures will be taken and posted, and hopefully I can finally figure out how to upload videos to YouTube! More soon.
