2 weeks to go!

Our trip is within 2 weeks. Time fly by quickly now. We will be leaving on the 2nd June and back to Brunei on 23rd June 2009. We are almost done with our shopping for winter clothings, except for bits and pieces of other things such toiletries and other stuff. And I depend on hubby to compile his list of stuff to bring, which is usually very comprehensive. When it comes to packing things, he is so very good at it. He always remember to bring odds things that you wont think about when going on holiday. But he remembers it every time! So I am not worried tehehe.
My girl is having her mid year exam at the moment so we try to minimise our holiday talk for a bit. Dont want her distracted and lose focus on the exam. The holiday will come but the exam is so important too.
Our luggages are ready, I've packed all our thermal clothings, wool shirts, hats, gloves, scarf, wind breakers, rain coats and socks. Next will be our outside clothes and I will take care of those in a week. We are not going to take any food stuff since every thing have to be declared at the airport. We want to avoid any delay as much as possible. Since we have booked an apartment with kitchen and we will stay near a supermarket, that will take care of it.
We also bought a smaller backpack kind of luggage for travelling and we will only take this small luggages to Christchurch and leave our bigger luggage maybe at Auckland airport. We will be in Christchurch for a few days, hire a car and do our site seeing. We plan to travel to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook, hoping to see the mountain capped snow and beautiful lake. This is a very famous place for skiing so we want to see it.
The trip will take 9 hours to reach Auckland, so its going to be a long plane journey. So I think I will buy some books/magazines to read while flying just to pass the time. I am sure hubby and my girl will have their own laptops with them, we all know there wont be much inflight entertainments when we fly with RBA so better be ready. (Sorry RBA, but thats the fact!)
So everything is set.
