Spent some time setting up our New Zealand trip today. It started with an email from Air NZ saying we needed to call them about a flight change. Turns out Air Canada changed our first flight time creating an impossible connection at LAX. Good service from Rose to reroute us via Houston. I also sent emails to companies about camper van rentals and worked out a rough schedule for our tour. We will land in Auckland (AKL) on a Tuesday and spend a few days in that area before hopping the train to Wellington, ferry to Picton and another train to Christchurch. We will get our camper in Christchurch and spend two weeks on the South Island. Then we will fly back to AKL and on to Vancouver and Toronto to complete our 22 day trip. We are really excited about it.
