Much long tripping later and fun plane rides (I spelt a lot on the second one unfortunately)I was back in the UK!
I waited for my bus then Tony picked me up from Wolves, it was so good to see him! At home he had set up a surprise for me as I'd got him while i was away with an egg hunt XD I had 70+ kinder eggs all set up on the stairs! XD We spent the rest of the day lazing around and chatting :]

I love flying

Today was harsh, we got up early to drop me off at the airport ;/
I'll admit I cried quite a bit, even after leaving Mum & Jen. Like leaving Wanganui, seeing a family together at Auckland Airport, randomly, and then when I left NZ later in the day. It was a pretty shite day which even the beautiful sunrise and plane trips couldn't distract me from much.

So I finally got to NZ, woot! I had a little more problem though, just as I thought it would all be easy once I'd been issued my boarding pass for the small flight down to Wanganui, my home town, but that was before I actually looked at it! It was someone else's that I'd been given by mistake...fail. It took a while to rearrange but they got my luggage off the wrong plane (thankfully) and I put it onto the conveyor for my actual flight and then then I waited for a few more hours to catch it XD
Once I was at Wanganui I was going to get a taxi to my Mum's house, but waited for 10mins or so first to make sure Dad wouldn't turn up for me first (we were meant to arrive together the day before but obv that didn't work out) anyway, Dad did turn up! He had told my sister that he had a package of beermats to pick up XD
She was pretty surprised, it was brilliant XD We drove back to her house and I met Troy her boyfriend who was also pretty surprised to see me. After grabbing some energy drink we then shifted onto Mum's house.
Dad and Jen went in first and then a few mins later I rang the doorbell and Dad told Mum to go get it. The door is frosted too so she didn't have any idea! It was a really good reunion and we spent the rest of the evening chatting and chatting some more until I had to go to sleep about 8.30.

Kinda scary

Okay so we're back here again.
I had a good night's sleep at the Pan Pacific, so much that I couldn't get up in time for breakfast, but then what's new? XD
After I'd packed & checked out I had lunch (also free, woo!) and then went over to see when check-in would be for my flight to NZ. It turned out that I could check in right away, but that I'd have about a 8/9hour wait till the actual flight XD So I hung about the airport, looking shops, getting Starbucks and just being glad the next step was just to get on the plane, which I boarded at about 10pm :]

Of course most of this day was taken up with flying, it takes about 14 hours to go from the UK to Kuala Lumpur. I think I only slept for a few hours I was so happy to be mooching on the plane XD
Anyway, we landed well and I then had the task to find out how I was supposed to claim my free hotel room in this strange airport. It took a lot more stress but I got there eventually, finding I could walk to the hotel with the voucher I'd been given through a big tunnel attached to the airport. The hotel was something else! It was astounded and it sure made the 'hotel' I work in look like a run down garage rented out to people xp
I was given 3 free meals as well, and once I got to my room I spent hours lounging, cooling down, reading and finally relaxing knowing that most of the hard stuff was over.
I eventually went downstairs for dinner about KL 10pm and had some great food from a massive buffet, it was awesome!

Yes more plane food xp~

Alright I've thought about it and hopefully this is how it will work: I will post pics-a-day for my trip away as usual, but perhaps with less description, of course questions are always welcome if you're wondering what's going on and I don't mention it!
So, this is the day I left for NZ, it was a massive stress for me as I'd never travelled alone before and my latter flight got cancelled months ago with no-one telling me. Luckily the airline got it sorted with the help of my original booking company and I chose to get on the plane that day and to get on my way rather than stay overnight in an english hotel (got enough of that as it is!)
So I had to wait around in the airport for many hours, but that was okay because i love airports, and it was even better with me once I got on the plane, I adore flying so it was a relief to at least started my journey!
