I've had better starts!

It was not a great start to an extended trip - turning up to the flight counter, presenting documentation supplied by the travel agent (who will remain anonymous at this stage), to be told, "This isn't right". However the staff were very helpful in making sure we eventually (after 25 minutes of 'just a moment', several phone calls and back room discussions) got to Auckland. In the meantime I left a message on the agent's voice mail (thank goodness for mobile phones) and by the time we got to Auckland he was able to confirm that by the time we got to the Singapore Airlines check in counter everything would be 'okay'. I'm a 'believe it when I see it' person and felt a lot more comfortable when we had boarding passes in our hands!

Fortunately we still had time to ensure we made the mandatory duty free alcohol purchases!
