					<description><![CDATA[I was sure I would never do it. Never get married, never give up my independence. But life, it seems, has other plans for me. &#8220;Never&#8221; should now be replaced with &#8220;imminent.&#8221; I made the &#8220;never&#8221; decision after I got out of college, after I had traveled to South America on my own, had lived [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As far as the big cities in New Zealand go, I think Wellington is at the top of my list. We&#8217;ve stayed there twice now, once on our way to the South Island, and once on our way back from the South Island, and while our experiences were different both times, what we&#8217;ve seen is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After Auckland, our next stop was Rotorua. The town is built in the middle of an active volcanic area, and there are steam vents and boiling pools and mud pits dotted throughout town. A distinctive sulphur smell hangs in the air as well, and we learned from the manager of our hostel that when the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our entry into New Zealand was not a rough one. Despite the 9-hour flight, the shortest route from the U.S. to New Zealand, by way of Honolulu instead of LA, and the fact that we lost a day—Tuesday, Nov. 12 simply didn&#8217;t exist for us—New Zealand, Auckland specifically, wasn&#8217;t so dramatic of a change for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We got rained out of one of the most beautiful national parks of the trip. We stayed for five days, and we kept the rainfly on our tent the entire time, despite the fact that we were camping in the desert. Apparently Zion gets 15 inches of rain a year. About 9 of them fell [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It was just an overnight. In and out. But we had to carry all of our water. We had already been in Bryce Canyon for several days, but we were car camping at one of the developed campgrounds, and we thought we&#8217;d give ourselves a true wilderness experience before we left the park. I wasn&#8217;t [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nearly 20,000 miles has taken us from Alaska to Maine to California, and through a fair bit of Canada. We&#8217;ve dipped our toes in the Atlantic and in the Pacific, but we&#8217;ve spent most of our time in the mountains and around the lakes and streams both near and far from the coasts. We&#8217;ve been [&#8230;]]]></description>

Including Canadian parks, we&#8217;ve visited 12 national parks and monuments so far, and 5 state or provincial parks. We started our national park tour, however, in the crown jewels of the Canadian park system, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First, our fire wouldn&#8217;t stay lit. We were cooking foil dinners, Brian&#8217;s favorite camping meal, over the fire that night, our first night in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but the &#8220;fire&#8221; was still just smoke. Two separate attempts to start it left us with coals, but not much flame. We even went to the [&#8230;]]]></description>

We figured it was appropriate, since we were driving south (eventually) and were planning on leaving the North and its weather behind for a while. The car was packed to the gills with all of our worldly possessions&#8211;except those left behind in my sister&#8217;s garage&#8211;including our camping gear and [&#8230;]]]></description>
