UGH!

So today I sold alot of stuff from my house and packed alot of the stuff I plan on keeping. I loaded my new house, the van, full of boxes and for where I'll be storing my stuff. On the way I stopped for coffee and when I came back out the van wouldn't start!!! Luckily the guy I bought it from is a Mobile Mechanic and he came and replaced the battery. He put a re-furbished alternator in it before I bought it and he said he thinks its bad. So tomorrow he's going to fix it. So thats one day down with not so much accomplished. I think i'm gonna load the jeep up and head to storage so its not a complete waste of a day.
Travel Plans: I've also talked to some people who have lived in N. Zealand and traveled alot. Apparently Nepal and N. Zealand are going to be freezing when i'm there and India might be during Monsoon season. My former bosses wife is a travel agent and she suggested I buy a ticket to N. Zealand and then just get one way tickets independently from there to where ever I want to go. Or she also suggested a "Circle the Pacific" ticket for around $2000 that would allow me Australia, N. Zealand, Fiji, Thailand..and such. Then if I wanted I could take train/bus/independent flights while i'm using that ticket. Sooo much to think about. I'm a little confused!?!?!
