Hello lovely blog readers! I wanted to update you on my next few weeks, lest anyone take offense to my lack of interaction. Starting tomorrow, Dr Husband and I will be out of the country for a spate, enjoying our honeymoon! We delayed the honeymoon trip so that we could escape winter yet still hang out with penguins. Where is the magical land where this is possible?
New Zealand! We’re so excited (and we’re nerding out like no tomorrow over the chance to see Rohan IRL). So, thanks to the magic of blog and tweet scheduling, I’ll still be posting and tweeting over the next few weeks. However! I won’t be around very much, if at all. So my usual habit of responding to comments will be delayed until January, and if I fail to respond to tweets, it isn’t some personal snub!
I’ll just be visiting this… which is actually the setting for my first book, which was shelved in 2010 but I hope to revive based on inspiration from this trip! Yay!

What about you? Are you traveling anywhere fun for the holidays?

We’ll be traveling to my in-laws, which isn’t nearly as far away nor as exotic as New Zealand, but will be fun nevertheless. :) Have a wonderful wonderful time, Sarah!
The in-laws can be as much of an adventure, I think! Have so much fun!
I am so looking forward for LOTR reenactment videos when you get back! And yes, I will be very disappointed if you do not make this happen. I mean, you could be related to Legolas. It’s only fitting for you to attempt to reunite with your people.
HAVE FUN!!!
Next stop: Rivendell.
have fun! Very jealous. New Zealand is gorgeous!
OMG, how awesome! LOTR was totally the FIRST thing I thought, followed by, IS SHE GOING TO GO SEE ROHAN IRL?!!! Nerd alert. Haha. I totally agree with Danielle, btw. There should be reenactments. :)
Have fun! Hug a penguin! Be epic! (And take lots of pictures so we can vicariously experience beautiful
Middle EarthNew Zealand.)Oh, Sarah! It would be the understatement of the century to say that I’m jealous! New Zealand and Australia are on my husband’s and my list of MUST VISIT locales. I hope you and your husband have a blast… please share pictures!
Oh, and I’m not traveling anywhere. I’ll be here in our beloved PNW, enjoying the mist. :)
I am SO jealous. I hope you and your husband have a blast in Middle Earth!
