So, as I arrived at Auckland airport, I found it hard to shake my seat buddy. We worked out that I'm on a different flight from Auckland to Sydney from him, however, we are on the same flight from Sydney to Melbourne. Although, a bonus for me, we are not sitting next to each other!! I say goodbye to him, as he joins the queue to make a direct international transfer. I, on the other hand, as my bags were only checked to Auckland, I have to go through the whole...

I was so excited about coming home today, that I actually found it hard to get to sleep last night. It was as if I was transported back to when I was a little girl, eagerly waiting for Santa to arrive down the chimney on Christmas Eve. In fact, I was too busy daydreaming about the huge party planned for me, the marching bands, the fanfares....

But in saying that, I will be glad to be heading home tomorrow!! So I jumped...

No, just purely lack of sleep. I remember that I have a full day tour ahead of me today, so I make quick work out of getting up, and getting ready for the day. I quickly packed my bag, ensuring tha...

After a nice sleep in this morning, I slowly rose, had a shower and then made my way to breakfast. My flight isn't until 6pm tonight, however I'm not really looking forward to the fact that my check out time is 12pm. There's not too much I can do about it though. So after breakfast I head back to my room. I finish packing my bag.... and I start to think about the fact that this is the second last time I will have to pack up my bag!!! Thank goodness. It has ...
