Having come up to London today for my chartership interview I couldn’t help but notice the Flight Centre over the road from the Jacob’s office where I had my chartership interview.  After having a coffee with Ian Deakin I headed into the Flight Centre and enrquired about the price of a flight to New Zealand for next week.  Around £850 or so via Hong Kong  I headed up the road to my original destination Travel Mood looking for a similar quote.

Afterwards I took a cruise on the Thames and talked to my sister about my idea who thought it was a good idea.  Popped into Foyles on the Southbank to buy myself the Lonely Planet guide for New Zealand.  All that remains is to ask my supervisor at work tomorrow for the time off so I can book my flight.  I’m also going to ask my sister’s boyfriend Patrick about his experience of travelling round New Zealand.
