AKL and beyond for a week

[serfty]

One place I found fascinating and is close to Auckland is "Rangitoto", take a ferry out and walk around for 4 - 6 hours.

Experience Rangitoto Island, book a Volcanic Explorer Tour with Fullers

P.S. Watch out Flashware, I heard she was in the army....

Was? Have they court-martialed me and forgot to tell me?

 

[QF WP]

Ah, no, perhaps my information (3rd hand) was wrong (or I misheard)

 

[straitman]

Oh no, he wouldn't dream of doing that karens...I'm sure he was merely stating the obvious that you are older than him and aged 25, so there aren't the excesses...

How am I doing Flashware?

P.S. Watch out Flashware, I heard she was in the army....

LW,

This seems like a good one to watch from a distance so get out of there :!:

 

[MissBurrill]

I know the plan is hotels but when I visited Napier in 2006 I chickened out on staying in a hostel that was formerly a prison (gaol?). If we end up in Napier any chance we can stay there if I'm not too OLD to stay in a hostel?

 

[Flashback]

Flights are booked.

We have a OMG! departure, with karens flying out on LAN and myself on QF; both in J. She gets a bed, I don't! :evil:

 

[QF WP]

Hmm, that's interesting...you're not even flying together on the same flight. Hope there aren't delays, cancellations, etc (I know yours are with AA points award Flashware - an EXCELLENT use of 35K points ex-PER IMO).

Do you think I want to be stuck on a plane with Flashware? Will be bad enough being in a car with him!!

Yup. PER-BNE-AKL-SYD-PER J all the way.

I could think of a lot worse people to be stuck with....hope you don't get one on your flight. You'll be in far closer proximity in the car

What, early stage relationship endorphin rush is over....already

So when are you coming through...you might need a friendly person to help you get from Dom to Intl...

No, she's just a narcisssist!

April 16, with a 4 hour layover :evil: Damn QF!

 

[QF WP]

I'm free ATM for 16 April, so let me know when...

Once AA confirms the flight is ticketed will let you know!

 

[Flashback]

Arrive 2pm... out at 6.45pm, so 4.75 hour layover! :shock:

 

[QF WP]

Hmmm, looks like I am going to see a client near the airport at 2pm on that day...plenty of time for a beer/steak at the Brekky Creek etc, then drop you back at the Intl Terminal about 4.30pm (so you can have time to check out QP and I can beat the 5pm traffic), then home for me at normal times. Happy days!!

You're in my diary

Have to say its sad to see 6 pages of a thread on a frequent flyer board about what to do in Auckland for a PS status pax, when there has not been one mention of a LAN run:

What IS going on

If you knew the two people in concern you would know that they are not mileage or status runners.

Also, I know at least one of them would not like to get up for the OMG o'clock flight leaving AKL I...
