OMG...Executive Class is the way to fly! Comfy seats that convert into beds, champagne, wine, gourmet food, personal entertainment system that pops out of the wall, and a cute tote with travel-sized toiletries. The 14-hour flight seemed so much shorter having a good nights sleep on the plane. We had dinner at 9:30pm and then breakfast at 7am (3am NZ time).
We're in Auckland now. Managed to find a cafe across from the hotel which has free wifi. Our first adventure in NZ was getting out of the car rental lot at the airport...LOL. We hadn't clued in yet that we were supposed to be paying attention to the signs on the left lane. We kept looking at signs on the right lane, which seemed to always point back into the lot instead of exiting the lot. Anyways, we figured it out eventually :)Also discovered that my GPS doesn't have any NZ maps in it. The GPS basically pinpoints us off the coast of NZ and that's pretty much all of the detail it gives. Luckily we got a good map from Hertz. So, hubby is driving and I'm navigating via map...truly a good test of our marriage :) I told hubby he's lucky that I can read a map...his reply: "I wouldn't have married you if you couldn't."...ha ha.
More about Auckland tomorrow...we're here for a few days.
Sooo jealous! :) And those pods looks waaaay too comfy. It's almost like you have your own private jet. LOL
