The Kingdom of Tonga

X marks the spot. That little sliver of sand and palm trees will soon be my home for an unknown amount of time. Flight departs July 10th from Auckland... SOOO PUMPED! I'll be working on a small fishing lodge (Fresh sushi anyone?) in the Vava'u island group in Northern Tonga to escape the NZ winter! It's a pretty remote location, as you can see, and I'll definitely be scouting out some empty waves... might even have to make my own treasure map for the secretest of spots. In fact, I'm definitely going to be burying some treasure on a scrap of sand and coral around there somewhere... might just be a bottle of rum, but how many people can say they have treasure buried on a deserted island in the Pacific!!! Can't wait to mark that one off the list.
