Finally New Zealand Bound:


 

New Zealand Bound:

Yes, we are finally making it to New Zealand. I know many are surprised we have not been there. This trip has been planned a few times and interrupted by COVID. 

We are using our Disney Vacation Club Points for this trip. It is an adult’s only departure. We looked at other providers and cruises and this one covers most of what we are interested in seeing.

While the itinerary covers a good bit, some areas we want to visit will be covered in our pre and post trip days.

I am looking forward to seeing many of the endemic critters of New Zealand. My pre-trip reading on the birds is filled with many colorful ones to find.

A visit to the International Antarctic Centre should be interesting. We even get to meet a husky :). 

Hobbiton is a must, and along with Milford Sound will be explored on our own, as well as some wildlife areas. 

The Trans Alpine rail trip will be fun, scenic, and interesting.

I hear Rugby is kinda big there :). 

Gonna be a mighty long airplane ride for sure, we have good seats and that will help.
