  hey Zax….im doing the grand explorer which leaves christchurch on the 24th of sept, but ends in Auckland. Not sure if we’ll be on the same tour until Qeenstown, or a completly different one! Not long to go now.

  hey Kristina, that’s good to know…i bet it’s the same one as its a combined trip with the grand xplorer one. so most likely for this leg of the trip to Queens, we would be on the same :)

  hello Explorer1254670, what a coincidence! I’m from a very long way away too….Sydney! Interesting…but I’m giving Auckland a miss as I will be back next year to the north, Auckland. The South is more exciting!

  Fair enough, all depends on time and money and whats going on I guess. I have a wedding on in the middle of the trip so I’m killing two birds with one stone :)

  I’m coming from Gladstone, Queensland. My husband and I are both doing the tour. Very much looking forward to a holiday! Already looking at the optional activities and picked out a few I definitely want to do.

  Hello there Said! And you too Jessicaellen!

  Small world indeed…I reckon many on this trip are from Australia! Oh, is it like another 11 days to go?
  Anyone doing skydiving or whitewater rafting?

  Woo Hoo – I have 5 days left of work :o) Then I might start thinking about what to pack!
  Hey Jess I think you know my sister Jade.
  Ummmm don’t plan on the skydiving Zax but possibly the whitewater rafting. I’m keen for the Jetboat shotover thing and definitely a helicopter ride. May do the canon swing – my sister just did it and really enjoyed it.
  Hi said – see you soon!
  Are you guys all planning on being at the meet and greet thing the night before?

  Hi Jessicaellen, I was thinking of going to either minus 5 icebar or below zero icebar one night while in queenstown, it would be great for a big group of us to go!
  Yes there is a meeting the night before the tour starts at the Bealey Hotel where the tour starts from. I wont be there as I dont get in until late on the 23rd.
