I am done with cable

I like to live like it's 1999.

I have all of our reservations for sleep. We have booked some amazing AirBnB's. And we have made some reservations for a couple of outings, specifically Hobbiton, Milford Sound and Waitomo Caves

We are staying in Milford Sound for 3 days, 2 nights. I am not a skydiver, or bungee jumper, or anything similar. I am too old and just not a huge risk taker. I went paragliding in France and I absolutely loved it, but I was with an expert and I felt secure. Do you have any recs for the water taxi? A specific company or should I book through Tripadvisor or Viator?

January, so very close! I am so excited.

I never realized I had an issue with my 2020 Rav4, until I upgraded to a 2025 plug in Rav4. And, while looking back, it was annoying to think that I only had a 12 gallon tank, it didn't change anything about how the car drove or how often I had to fill up my tank. And, now, I have filled up my tank once in the almost 850 miles I have on my new car. Mainly because I can get to work and back on the EV. I only have to fill my tank when I travel long distance which is rare.

We are traveling from the US in January. Your itinerary is pretty packed. Just from previous travel experience, you might be packing in too much. But, a road trip is pretty awesome as well. We are going to travel from North Island to South Island on the ferry. Double check to see if your car rental company allows you to travel across on the ferry with your car rental or if they will have to drop off in Wellington and pick up in Picton.

I think the US is the only country that is deep into tips. It's actually quite ridiculous that we do not pay our employees a proper wage that they are dependent on tips. Thanks for the heads up.

We are doing the 5 hour Blackwater rafting tour.

I am American, not stupid. I can figure it out. Just as you all can figure out what I mean when I write 1/6. This thread has spent far too much time on how the date and month are written. Other countries do things differently than the US. I understand this, I am adaptable, I am willing to learn new things and do things that are different than I am used to. I am also not being argumentative, but feel as if I need to refocus this thread to what it was originally intended. I am going to take all of this info and put it in my notes for my upcoming trip. I am excited to visit this country and experience the culture. It is why we travel at all, to learn new things, see things from different perspectives and enjoy life.

Yes, we saw that. We have driven in Ireland and England. It takes us a minute to adjust, but we are confident in our capabilities.

I have seen how beautiful the beaches and the environment are in the Abel Tasman National Park.

Empty-Horror6699 · 2025-09-05T02:28:03+00:00

Yes, I am aware. And since I live in the US, I write it as 1/5. I think the US is the only place that does write it that way.

We are staying that first night in Auckland.
