Well ... right or wrong, I just did it:ph43r:

On April 5th, I'm flying CHC to Dunedin ... Coffee, and then on to AKL ... another Coffee, down to New Plymouth, on to Wellington, and home to CHC.
Just need to clear my head, and flying is the only way.

Marty you should have made it a week later and done the Wellington to Blenheim and stayed over for the airshow.

Yah I also got the Grabaseat spam this morning

Charl ... I just couldn't resist, time in the air to clear the head.
I'm going to have to work hard for a few weeks to cover it ... but what the hell.

Doug, your right ... I did look at flights up for the show, but so expensive, and driving up for the day was just too long, if the main road is closed.

I'll have two chocolate milks over Moo Moo land , Champers in Auckland , Chocolate bic's in flight to New Plymouth ... recharge with a Coffee then and a steak sandwich then to Welly to blow some hot air at Johnny English then back to CHCH for a rest

At DUD get your coffee from the hipster place next to a sushi joint upstairs.

"At DUD get your coffee from the hipster place next to a sushi joint upstairs." thank you, sir , I will indeed.

Not sure what to do in New Plymouth for 4 hours, Maybe grab a rental and have a look around between coffees ...... I've never been there .

Re the flying day, I just realized I didn't take out insurance on the flights ... in the case of cancellations etc.
Called the ANZ 0800 number, and had a chat to a delightful young lady, who fixed it up in a flash.(and $60.00)

Might take a change of underwear and my toothbrush ... just in case

What a crazy self-indulgence this is .... but what the heck.

Hey, one man's self-indulgence is another's necessary health incentive... Sounds like fun, just enjoy it!

at New Plymouth, go to Joes Garage for lunch or breakfast or whatever, great food and easy to find.

Gotta see the brecky size at 'Joe,s' have one of those only 100 meters away from here, the Coffee is great tho , I was invited to have from a neighbour.

Not long to go now ... i looked at trying to add another leg , but it just wont work with what I've got now ... I think what i have now is enough for one day.

I mentioned to Greg today I was very envious, one thing I never thought of doing just for the hell of it, be interesting ... truly you are prob the first to do something like this on this forum.

Still a bit hard to justify , but what the hell.
