  I cant wait either, time is flying by!! Yes I will be staying at the hotel they arranged prior to our tour date and after our tour adte too, Im pretty sure there are a few people doing that so we can meet ahead of time :)
  The only person I met was Alex and another guy from Perth (where I live)
  Im have no idea what to pack, what are you bringing winter clothes? summer clothes? How much spending money for activities?

  Hey Keiran where you coming from? yeah I already paid for my room when I booked my tour, Im also staying at the Beasley hotel in Auckland an extra night to. Hey Anna thats great, Im not sure about the Hostels I think you might have to check with a travel agent about them and see if you could organise something or check out prices for the Beasley Hotel in christchurch I think it was a lot cheaper then the one in Auckland.

  I’m all for meeting up before the tour. Unfortunately, I’m only getting into Auckland at 10.55 am on the 6th. So I guess I’ll only be able to catch up with you guys during the tour itself. If anyone’s getting into Auckland at around the same time as me though, I’d be happy for some company at the airport!
