Packing almost done

Our cases are now almost packed, the weather looks fair for our journey to Heathrow and so it has worked out very well for us so far.  We started planning our trip in earnest at the end of September and after having words with those around we had sorted most of the places to visit and what activities to take part in.  We then contacted a travel agent called Audley Travel who come recommended and who specialise in long haul holidays.  We shall put those recommendations to the test!  We were allocated a New Zealand specialist advisor who then made all our travel, our trips and accommodation bookings with very little fuss and most efficiently.  (We were recommended one schedule, it wasn't exactly to our liking and so we suggested the things we wanted to do and they came back very quickly with an acceptable alternative.)  Us Savills are difficult to please but Audley were up to it.  The only initial disappointment was that we originally wanted to stopover in Singapore but we were too late for that and are spending a couple of days in Hong Kong instead.

Today I checked with our new travel adviser as our most helpful, previous one had left Audley at the end of December and everything is looking good for our travel on Saturday evening.  

I was hoping to upload a video on today's blog but it would not happen and so i am going to look into it tomorrow and see if I can manage it.  Technology is marvellous when it works!  I'd like to be able to use videos when we are in New Zealand.
