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 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

SidT

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

SidT

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
