Today I made reservations for 2 tickets on the interislander ferry from Picton to Wellington. We'd be returning our car just prior to boarding the ferry for the 3 1/2 hours cruise to Wellington, in business class, of course. ;)

I've managed to book 2 spa treatments for us to enjoy prior to starting our long, long voyage to New Zealand. The spa treatments will be in the King David lounge at Ben Gurion airport.

This would be our first night stop after leaving Wellington on the northern island. I chose a suite hotel as it seemed like the most decent place in town. Making the reservation by phone was a lot of fun. :) Our final destination in New Zealand is Auckland and I've made several refundable reservations for this hotel, just to make sure the rooms are allocated and that an upgrade is granted. :)

I chose this hotel for its location and for the fact we'd be able to book it partially by using points. The hotel is centrally located by lake Taupo, which makes it a great base for day trips, as we'd be staying for two nights. I've also cancelled my points reservation for the hotel in Rotorua, which was no longer needed.

Our final destination before we take the ferry to the north island. We're booked for a two night stay at a fancy hotel that has an amazing new Zealand wines collection.
