Hmmm ...
I believe I need to be home on the 13th. Due to other constraints, I will try to pop over for the Saturday.
Flying over on the evening of the 11th (NZ126), overnighting at the AKL airport Hilton.
I can zip down and back on the DH3's Saturday morning and depart NPR 5pm to catch a return to MEL 8:55pm QF flight.
Options AKL to NPR are 7:20 or 8:30, no real option other than 5:05pm the other way
Note that To market to Market is a scratching.

Can everyone please either post or PM me their flight details on how they are getting to NPE, so that I can work out the best transport options to get us all out to Waimarama from the airport.
Done 
Look forward to seeing you again Ross, even if it is only a brief visit

Thwarted again. Unfortunately I need to be in WLG for work that weekend! Tried to juggle schedules so I could do AKL-NPE-WLG but that wasn't going to work out!
Gutted as I was really keen. 3rd DO I've missed out on now. Hope everyone has a great time though!

Still trying to piece a schedule together;
I better hold off my booking then;
What is wrong with NZ8419 the 8:30AM arrival. (NZ8405 has got expensive)
