It’s a road trip adventure! Two weeks in New Zealand is a good chunk of time. Now don’t get me wrong — Kevin and I could have easily spent a month driving around. But sadly, as our fellow Americans know all too well, we only had 2 weeks of vacation….
We finally arrived in New Zealand! After the 13-hour New Zealand Air flight direct from Los Angeles, we were ready to get out and explore. Like most travelers, Auckland will be your first stop. But don’t make the mistake of skipping it. After all, this is New Zealand’s largest city…
