Finally!! I’ve been a bit impatient but today I got flights from Christchurch, NZ to Wellington, NZ and Wellington, NZ to Auckland, NZ. Great deal from low cost airline Jetstar $151 USD for both flights. I have a good lead on a dive boat in Cairns, AUS and found a place in Queenstown, NZ to bungy jump off the Kawarau Bridge. I also have a response from a 4 x 4 land cruiser adventure in Queenstown.
Wow, things are falling into place!
