I am slowly putting together a list of all the things I want to do on this trip and will post it sometime over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>In other news I have booked a crazy Easter Holiday to New Zealand for a weekend, purely just to use up some points i had with Air New Zealand.  Flights are Brisbane to Auckland on Good Friday.  On Easter Saturday I am flying Auckland to Christchurch to Queenstown and then returning the exact same way after an hour on the Ground in Queenstown.  I won&#8217;t get to explore much but I have been told its a fantastic flight into the airport in Queenstown.  Ill have Easter Sunday to explore Auckland a bit and then that evening I am flying from Auckland to Sydney on Emirates on the A380 (my first A380 flight).  After spending Easter Monday\/Anzac Day in Sydney as usual, I will fly home that evening with Virgin Blue.  Should be a good crazy time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it is 6 months till i start on this awesome new trip.
