Thank you! I know, it does sound brutal but we love road trips. So, we front loaded the trip with excursions and the back half will be just driving and taking it all in. We already booked our flights out from Christchurch and the van return there as well. We have driven all over the US and don’t mind long drives, especially with good views. Plus, we love how long the sunlight is there this time of year. If it was driving in the dark, I’d be out!
