Dates noted. Mark me down as probable.

For those who fly *A, Air NZ flies to ADL from AKL (as does SQ from SIN). AKL-ADL fares are relatively cheap (more than AKL-SYD/BNE/MEL/OOL though).

Hmm, good point. I will likely be there Fri-Sun, rather than Sat-Mon. Anyway, Sat and Sun are normally where the main action is
