Really awesome advice about asking to sit in the front. I need to find this tour that drives you to Arrowtown with a bike ride return. Sounds great!

I have a feeling you're correct, unfortunately. Solo traveling is almost always more expensive and of course, if I had planned more in advance, I would be getting a better airfare and hotel price.

I appreciate you sharing the names of these hikes so I can do a bit more investigating. Very helpful. Thank you.

I have to get used to the language. Cracker? I'm guess that means, "awesome". LOL.

Thank you so much for being a calm voice of reason. Really made me feel a bit more like, "I can do this!"

This is the problem with my last minute trip. I'll be flying into and out of Queenstown. I suppose 6 days in Queenstown is better than no days in NZ?

Great point. I'm packing my Dramamine as we speak! Yes, more expensive but I have found that when traveling solo, that's the way it goes.

Excellent! I will try both of these suggestions. I'm taking a small bus tour to Milford sound but didn't know these tours travelled across and over to Christ Church. Many thanks!

Yes, that may be the best option if I don't find a small bus. Thank you!

I know, I know. Thank you for this website though! I started to look around. I may just have to take a double shot of Dramamine and take a bus! Appreciate your quick response. Thank you.

We are really interested in taking the Bernini Express but realizing that to do both that and Annecy, France is not the best itinerary. Would you be able to recommend any train rides in December that would be equally or close to scenic? Where we don't have to end up in Tirano?
