Some time ago I posted that we're going to NZ this autumn, so end of the
month it is! I had a lot of helpful advice about things to see and places
to visit for which I'm very grateful.
Our itinerary (after a few days in Xian) is Kerikeri, Napier & Hawkes Bay,
Wellington, Abel Tasman National Park, Wanaka, Te Anau, Devonport, Auckland
- home! We've got places to stay in all these stops for a few nights and
then we're also at leisure in between stops to pick and choose where we
visit. We'll be away for around 6 weeks altogether and we are looking
forward to it like mad!

New Zealand is wonderful. You will enjoy it no end, we went there on our
World Cruise in 2006 and were hoping to go there next year but have changed
our plans and are doing half a World Cruise on Arcadia in January and
February, flying back from Singapore.

Have a super time

Mike

Do you need anyone to carry your cases?

That's the response and offers I had on the World Cruise and now again even
only a half a world Cruise has brought the same offers ;-)

Or, have you room for a littlun in one?

I'm very envious Sacha, with such happy memories of our trip last
winter, and the sunshine!!! Enjoy.

We're not off to the very end of the month so you're not rid of me yet
(apropos David's post, too) but we are looking forward to it very much and
did get a lot of helpful pointers from people here. All other polite
suggestions are welcome. ;-)

Won't that take you over the Christmas period? In which case i hope you
both have a very happy one and we'll all be agog to hear about the
plants you see over there!

No, we're back just in time for me to have a Christmas panic. It would have
been easier to stay away longer. ;-) Thanks, Janet - we're getting very
excited about this now but I really do need to start thinking about packing
clothes that can be worn in layers - something I find very difficult!

I am with you there Sacha, I am such a comfort freak I wear the same clothes

when you get there :-)

I think I've gone into a sort of semi-rebellious state re clothes. I wear
jeans virtually every day of my life. They're quite unsuitable to my age
and I'm perfectly comfortable in them. I wear Dockside shoes because
they're comfortable, don't slip in wet weather and give at least a little
support to my narrow, feeble and weak ankles. I wear tops that involve
shirts or fleeces, or cotton jumpers, depending on the weather (I can't wear
wool) and if the weather gets colder, I put a cotton poloneck under the
fleece. For 'smart' , as in weddings or funerals I have a couple of good
suits and for evening wear, I just panic.

you won't need much of that here soon, leats not heavy clothing. Spring is
coming through fairly quickly in the north. A jacket to break the wind but
pack T-shirt & shorts if here in Nov & Dec. Something heavier if going south
island but not winter stuff. Don't worry too much about looking scruffy, we
are used to scruffy poms over here. My dad a good example.
