Hi Folks. Just recieved an email from Travelbag, the travel agents that have organised most of our NZ trips. I haven't rung them but there is probably a lot they haven't disclosed.

Looks like a good deal but I would never travel with travelbag again. Too long to explain, but as far as Campervans hire goes, there is a very good company where you can pick up at Picton if you go from nth to Sth island and drop at Christchurch and it is definitely THE way to do the island.

Hi Maura. No not this year, run out of money, Travelbag send regular newsletters and this offer junped out.
Found your new van yet?
Regards sid
Hi Sid
Just wondered as I have a really good mate living out there now and they would be so pleased to see a friendly face from home. Also I could ask them to take you and your good lady out for nice meal to say thanks for your help to me back in the summer (I never forget a favour ) but as you not going I will have to think of something else.
Getting into heaps of aggro with buying another van - got a couple of threads running with all the details at the moment
Trying to buy a Peugeot Harmony for my son but not sure about it now. He is really busy with helping out at the local scouts and cubs - his eldest boy is in the beavers as well. A van would be great for him and the club to get to and from activities and carry bit of equipment, but why is it when you try to do something helpful it backfires in your face. I wont bore you with details as it's on other threads as well but it is a pain at the moment.
Topaz could be coming maybe April or May next year but a new one, no used ones we like available it seems. A new one we can get for £35,500 and 2005/2006 models still asking around £32,000 and they all manual so makes no sense to buy used ones at those prices.
Hope you well and will let you know how it goes with the van!
Maura

Hi Hampshireman. We have been to NZ 9 times, the last 5 with Travelbag and not had any problems, but this did not include any m/h hire but with plenty of internal flights and stopovers in the Far East and as I said all went well but I suppose its a case of "tell it as you find"
Cheers Sid

Have you had any contact with Travel Bag concerning the latest flyer from them? Seems a very good deal on the face of it

Hi Tel. No I haven't been in touch as we are not going this year, the last few years we have planned a trip to Spain in the winter but for various reasons we have ended up with Daughter and grandchildren in NZ. Run out of money now so def not going this year unless an emergency arises.
But might give Travelbag a ring just to see what the score is, watch this space.
Cheers Sid

Hi Sid Did you pursue this at all? NZ is back on the agenda for us for late 08 perhaps

Hi Tel. No, with not planning a trip i didn't bother might give them a ring in the Yew Year.. Its very hot over there on the North Island at the mo, daughter and kids going camping for Christmas. We have found November to be a very wet month and it usually changes at New year. Over the last few years we have found Feb/March to be the best weather.
Cheers Sid
