Hello World

Just creating our first post to get this thing started.

We planned on starting a blog to document our travels, however with the current situation around COVID-19 things aren't quite going to plan. Our original flights for the 4th of May have been cancelled, so we are on Plan B.



For those who don't already know, our big adventure to Ireland was supposed to start, destination Cork or Dublin, with a bit of travel first loosely based on the above destinations. Those plans are going to be delayed somewhat, so instead we're going to post up our most recent trip to Nelson, a practice flight to make sure the little ones (William mainly on his first flight) could handle a short flight, before the real deal.

In the meantime, we're going to spend the last few days we have in Aoteroa with our family :) Haere rā

So we've survived a week of isolation, it feels weird having to do this again, but this time it's a bit different as we only have a tiny little balcony as our "outdoors". The kids are doing great, despite being bored out of their little minds, they have been remarkably good, a combination of lots of new things to see out the windows, and just a new adventure, even if it's only in our apartment for now.             Our flights over were a mixed bag, Singapore Airlines created a system whereby all passengers transiting through from Aotearoa or Australia would be shepherded through into a separate part of the airport, and then boarded into the back of the next plane, so not coming into contact with anyone just hopping onto a flight in Singapore. Great in theory, but when the plane landed in Singapore, a...
