Try Air New Zealand's <a href="http://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/vgrabview/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">grab-a-seat</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"> </span>website, <a href="http://www.flypacificblue.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Pacific Blue</span></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">,</span> or Air New Zealand's normal <a href="http://www.airnewzealand.com/gateway.jsp"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">site </span></a>.<br /><br />If you are flying from the USA or Europe, I would recommend you try the above websites first and compare to what you find at your local travel agent or online through <a href="http://www.expedia.com/default.asp"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Expedia</span></a><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);" href="http://www.expedia.com/default.asp"> </a>or <a href="http://www.orbitz.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Orbitz</span></a><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">.</span></span><br /><br />Don't forget to purchase your travel insurance from either your travel agent or find a travel insurance plan online. Make sure you the travel insurance plan includes the "South Pacific" as some plans may not include this region as a part of their world-wide plans.<br /><br />Safe travels.Papiloahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010496359516992428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34056116.post-77475431075316981892007-07-12T23:43:00.000-07:002007-07-16T01:29:31.605-07:00<p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-ed.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-ed.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=144115188086106605&site=widget-ed.slide.com"/></object><p><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&ad=1&id=144115188086106605&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-ed.slide.com/p1/144115188086106605/ms_t016_v000_a001_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&ad=1&id=144115188086106605&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-ed.slide.com/p2/144115188086106605/ms_t016_v000_a001_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>Papiloahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010496359516992428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34056116.post-19721216626834708192007-04-29T14:15:00.000-07:002007-07-16T01:30:13.537-07:00<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nfoH1PJd7bw"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nfoH1PJd7bw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Papiloahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010496359516992428noreply@blogger.com
