Shame, shame. Joe only got 40/100 for the quiz. He really doesn't know me very well, does he? Got my age and birthdate wrong! What kind of a husband is that?! *Bitch-bitch* :P
Anyway, here's a sketchy plan of our itinerary in NZ (whee! 1 more day!):
Mon
2pm: Arrive in Auckland n collect car
3pm: Check in
4pm: Roam city / visitor centre?
6pm: Dinner
8pm: Roam city? *shrugs*
Tues
6am: Rise n shine / breakie
7am: Off to Whakapapa Ski Resort
11am: Arrive and check in
12pm: Ski, ski, ski! (If I only know how to, haha!)
Wed
8am: Rise n shine / breakie
10am: Check out
Rest of day: Our plan is to drive to and stay at Lake Taupo for the night (apparently, the lake is as big as Singapore!) but the journey back to Auckland is like 4 hrs and we simply can't afford the time if we want to get to the Australian Consulate Office by 8am the next day so, we are still deciding where to go for this day.
Thur
7am: Rise n shine / breakie
8am: Start queuing outside Australian Consulate-General (we were told that the queue is mad so have to go there really early) to get our passports evidenced and stamped for our permanant entry visas. :)
Rest of day: Not planned (because it really depends on how long the procedure will take).
Fri
8am: Rise n shine / breakie
10am: Check out / roam around city
12pm: Lunch
2pm: Airport / Home sweet home ...
As for Ginger, we are putting her in a kennel different to the one I mentioned before because the said kennel doesn't open on Sun and refuses to let us check her in at 6.30 in the morning just before our flight. So it's either we bring her in on Sat which I thought was a bit silly or we find another kennel. And glad that we did because this kennel is a lot cheaper and more spacious, it is also very near to the airport. Although they also don't allow us to bring her in at 6.30am on Mon, they are open on Sun. :) Here's a pic of where she'll be at for the next 6 days.
Not too bad, eh? We inspected the place this afternoon and it housed like 30-40(?) dogs right now so, she'll have a bit of company. Unlike the other kennel where the dogs are kept apart by walls, this one has fences which allow the pooches to see each other (not sure if that's a good thing though but Ginger is fully vaccinated so I'm not too worried that she'll pick up kennel cough or whatnot from her canine friends). Another plus point is their claim to disinfecting the complex daily so I'm assuming they should be pretty decent on the hygiene scale (hopefully!).
Alrighty, till my next post when I'm back from NZ as an aussie PR ! :)
