Wanaka

The plan today was to go to a show at the Dowse, a really nice little museum in Lower Hutt. I got ready to go out but all of a sudden got so tired-- I think it's leftover tired from being out last night. I wish these events would be on the weekend-- it's forecasted for rain and I'm running out of rainy day excursions.

Hubs tried to get us tickets for our ski trip to Wanaka through this new company called "Fly Direct" which offers inexpensive plane trips directly from Wellington to Wanaka. (The usual alternative is to fly to Queenstown and then drive over the hills to Wanaka). He's been meaning to get tickets forever, and finally went on the website today, and found that the business is already bankrupt!! Major bummer, but pretty glad we never booked through them. He went ahead and got plane tickets anyway, but now we have to have a layover in Christchurch to Queenstown. Our friend from the States is going to go with us; we were going to go heli-skiing but it is too expensive - $700 pp.
