Let the journey to New Zealand begin! First stop: Los Angeles for the weekend! #adventurelynne

Just landed in LA! Let the wild rumpus start! #adventurelynne

Made it to the plane! On my way to New Zealand by way of LA! #adventurelynne

Today's gifts from the Universe (so far!): free checked bag, an empty middle seat, free headphones, a USB port to keep my phone charged, and free WiFi! #adventurelynne

Today I am packing for New Zealand and re-watching the Lord of the Rings. (And yes, I understand that I'm packing 11 days early! lol Too excited to wait!) #adventurelynne

And I've boarded for my first New Zealand bus trip! Heading back to Tauranga after a lovely few days in Auckland. Bus is comfy w/ plenty of leg room. Free WiFi, power outlets & USB ports. I'm on the top level, so the view is great! Only $29 US for a 3.5 hour trip! #adventurelynne

I guess I'll be brushing my teeth with watercolors since my quart bag for my New Zealand flight has no room for toothpaste! lol #AdventureLynne #solotravel #newzealandtravel

I'm very excited about this new app that I got that lets me put a second time zone on my lock screen of my phone. Right now it tells me what time it is in New Zealand, but when I get there, it will always remind me of what time it is back in the US so I don't text you at 1:54 am. lol #adventurelynne

Oh, Betsey Johnson! You're such a tease! I REALLY wanted the Betsey Johnson skull carry on, but it was twice the price of the same size turquoise leopard print by another maker, so I went with the cheaper version. 🙁 (for no skulls) 🙂 (For making a good financial decision! lol) #adventurelynne

Los Angeles Friends: anyone want to pick me up at LAX at noon on Saturday and have lunch? Maybe drop me off at Lisa Morton's after?

I'm going to be in LA Sat, Sun, and most of Mon. I won't have a lot of free time, but I do have Sat afternoon. Message me if you want to get together! #adventurelynne
