Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were suppose to be a lot different than they turned out... First of all we left our hotel in Roturua and went to their little airport, stood in line and waited to get checked in. We were the second ones in line and then we hear an announcement that says our flight has been cancelled. AH!!!! So we sit at the airport and wait because there are no other flights that they can get us on so basically they say sorry and they shut down and leave because we were suppose to be the last flight out of there. We sat at the airport from 11am to 6pm. It was awful and yes of course it was Christams Eve! So my mom and dad were on the phone forever trying to figure out what to do and where we need to go to get to Queenstown. Luckily, (sort of, lucky would have been catching the right plane haha) we get a flight from Auckland to Queenstown...our ONLY option. So my dad and I went to rent us a van to drive the 3 hours back up to Auckland. Good thing that NONE of the rental car places had anything bigger than a hatch back corolla. So we had to rent two of them and drove to Auckland. They were almost the size of mini coopers! Upon arrival to Auckland we then found a hotel near the airport and stayed there. Man, was it a dive!! haha So we spent Christmas Eve in Auckland....The next morning we flew to Queenstown which was incredible! Christmas was pretty uneventful as well since everything was closed and we missed our tour because of our cancelled flight! I was bummed that we missed the tour but I was just so glad to be with my family and to be safe together!
