Left home in good time this morning having sat up till 2 am trying to get a whole heap of things ready for lots of current projects. And book accommodation. And get travel insurance - woops, forgot that before. And hire a car. And book our car into storage on the Gold Coast. Yep, just a little busy.
And still had not packed! Did that when we got up this morning.
We left home still not knowing whether the flight would even depart. There is a little lady wreaking a bit of havoc in the Tasman Sea at the moment. Ex Tropical Cyclone Gita will cross the NZ coast today and without trying to overly alarm anyone, there have been some pretty intense forecasts of rain and winds.
By the time we reach the departure gate, our plane departure has been delayed by 40 minutes which means an arrival after 11 pm tonight! But if that is the worst then we are happy.
Despite our growing international mileage, we have not yet been to New Zealand.
Oh, there have been plenty of people espousing the idea to us, it is just that the time has not been right to now. And as we only have 16 days, we are only going to the South Island this time. We will book another trip some time to do the North Island.
If anyone else needs encouragement, have a look at the following video:

Looking forward to sharing this adventure with you all again.
Watch this space, but won't be posting more today as our arrival is now later than 11 pm and I suspect that we just might be a little tired!

Hope the flight was uneventful and you arrived safely in Christchurch. xx
