Packing!

I'm packing, I'm packing! Or at least, I'm making plans to pack and to make a giant bacon and egg pie. I have my pack sitting in my room and I can't wait to put my bits in there. I spoke to Bex on The Skype yesterday, and we talked about how packing and planning outfits for certain adventures is part of the fun of going away on holiday. I haven't planned outfits for anything for so long, but I'm bloody determined to enjoy the hell out of this holiday. Planning is definitely the way to go.

So I need to decide:

• What shall I wear to Hot Water Beach? *
• To the Waihi Museum?
• To Whitianga township for a cup of coffee?
• Road tripping around the Coromandel Peninsular?

I shall NOT answer: "jeans and a giant cardigan" to all those questions. Orrrr. Maybe I will and just bring a huge selection of scarves (a la SIOL challenge).

In slightly related news: I'm going to give this whole "no shampoo" thing a whirl. It came from reading this article on the Hairpin, and I suspect starting it while in the country is probably for the best. I wonder if "no shampoo" will stick? Should I take shampoo with me Just In Case? Is it possible to be more of a hippie than I already am with the crystal deodorant and the Mooncup? Do I smell funny?

All questions shall be answered In Time I am sure.

PS: Dropping my year long challenge because it's depressing me and I just don't need any more depressing things in my life while dealing with coding.

*Swim togs would probably be the most sensible option here.
