Honeymooning in New Zealand: March 2007
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Thursday, March 29, 2007. We saw this poster while passing through a small town in the southern countryside. Sunday, 25 March, 2007. And before leaving the area, we learned how good a stir fry can be from a passing traveler friend who made dinner with us. (rosegarden pic). So, since Christchurch we've been hitting the road pretty hard. The scenery and the people are still awesome! Mount Aoraki/Mount Cook was stunning. We hiked out to Hooker Lake to see glaciers up close!

Honeymooning in New Zealand: January 2007
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Friday, January 05, 2007. January 5th, Count Down Begins. Days till we get on the plane. Yikes! There is so much to do! The quarter round is oiled and ready to be installed in the front guest room where Michelle the housesitter will be staying. Deep Clean the house- which means get rid of items that we don't use or want and drop at the thrift store. I am a bit of a pack rat- I'm on trash bag # 3. Now back to weeding out my Junk. And I needn't forget computer stuff, like PINS/...

Honeymooning in New Zealand: June 2006
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Friday, June 30, 2006. Originally uploaded by shelleyland. I'm still wondering who will take care of our Kiwi when we're gone for 3 months. Hope to hear from a travel agent today. I want to set up a time to ask her a bunch of questions. Maybe Jason and I will use an agent, but for the moment, we want to plan everything ourselves, in hopes of saving money. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Honeymooning in New Zealand: September 2006
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Monday, September 18, 2006. Ok, I have my new passport with my new name- Quinn, along with the marriage certificate that I sent in with my application. Great. What's next? Oh yeah, the back yard. We've got to stack wood and clear brush yet from where we chopped down 2 huge pine trees. I would like to have it ready by fall so I can plant blueberries there. And I suppose I need to figure out this computer thing- blogging, uploading pics, usernames and passwords, and what else?

Honeymooning in New Zealand: April 2007
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Monday, April 09, 2007. Taking a holiday from a holiday. So we went to Hell's Gate to see the hot bubbling muddy gaseous pools on Easter Sunday, the day Mr Bunny leaves candies and gifts for the little children in New Zealand. It did, however, smell of rotten eggs at Hell's Gate. actually the entire city of Rotorua smelled of sulfer. But the natural hot tubs made us forget the smell. Just like the telephone!

Honeymooning in New Zealand: Northward Bound!
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2007/03/northward-bound.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Saturday, March 24, 2007. Just a list to help keep track. I haven't had an opportunity to make updates, but I at least wanted to give a rundown of the places we've been driving on the South Island. Jason and I agreed in Invercargil to head north because we were sick of the rain, wind, and cold, and sandflies (ouch! Fur seals and Crested Penguins, and Yellow-eyed. Now headed up the West Coast.

Honeymooning in New Zealand: July 2006
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Friday, July 21, 2006. We have bought our tickets! We picked them up Wednesday from the travel agency- New World Travel. After searching on our own for 3-4 weeks we decided we could afford $1500 per ticket. After turning in our desired itinerary to the travel agent, Sandy, she went to work haggling the prices. In the end she got us a better price then expected including her commission. Sweet! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Honeymooning in New Zealand: February 2007
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Sunday, February 18, 2007. It's so beautiful. What a nice place to land after a long long day at airports. I am still wondering if the jetlag is causing hallucinations or if what I am seeing is real. While waiting for our ride at the airport, we met a cyclist who was reassembling his bicycle from a box (ther was a teapot on his back rack). he said he was at his final destination and that he had just finished 50,000 km (which is longer than our plane trip) around the world!

Honeymooning in New Zealand: December 2006
http://newzealandquinn.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Honeymooning in New Zealand. Tuesday, December 05, 2006. We just payed the deposit (750NZD) on a camper van from. We called on twice Sunday night, which was their Monday afternoon, and talked to Michaela. First, Jason asked all his questions, then we discussed our options. Finally we called back with our decision the book a 3 month rental. Some questions we asked were:. Can I reserve a Manual/Diesel? A/C not important, and CD player would be super.". What happens when it breaks down, exactly?
