Last month, we had an amazing time in New Zealand. Reg and I decided to visit our friend Kim and Darwin in Christchurch when Air New Zealand advertised their promo fare. We booked the flight January of this year and we just agreed to be there on Queen’s birthday week to minimise our annual leave credits. We were praying hard that the weather will be good to us since I have a track record of a rainy welcome each time we travel by plane. Well, we both had the time of our lives in South Island. I wouldn’t mind doing this all over again!
