Tickets!

Hubby and I just booked tickets to Rarotonga!  I am sooooooo excited.  And more than a little nervous.  Last time we went I booked the domestic flights and stuffed up on the dateline thingy.  Yep, I was the idiot that booked flights for the day before we were back in the country.  I was red faced with embarrassment, scraping coin together to book more flights and in the middle of a rather large fight for a couple that were just coming home from being married on a tropical island.

Dreams are slowly falling into place.  Now just to hope that the accommodation I am looking at is available and as good and cheap as the website says.

Just in case anyone ever stumbles across this little ol' blog of mine and wants info on getting to Rarotonga, here are the facts:

• We booked through Air New Zealand.  We could have gone through Pacific Blue but it would only be cheaper if we lived in a major city and didn't have to travel domestically first.  And Air NZ worked out the domestic and international tickets for us (I am seriously terrified of doing this, pathetic I know). 
• Flights for the four of us (two adults, pre-schooler and infant) cost just over $2,700NZ.
• We are looking at staying at Tiare Village.  As it is cheap and cheerful and seems to get pretty good reviews.  

I am over the top excited. 
Hubby has fallen asleep five minutes after paying for the flights.  
The kids are asleep and oblivious.  
How I love being a tiny step closer to a big dream.
Blissful.

Tiare Village Pool.  One of the reviews I read said it is only 1 metre deep.  Suits me fine with the kidlets.  I think Tiare is a flower.
