so it begins waiting for the first flight at the YVR waiting for the 13 hour flight to Auckland. I'm armed with a light mini netbook asus 10" netbook for internet bookings, picture downloads, and blogging and email during downtime; iphone for my music, pictures, and mobile email; blackberry just in case the iphone didn't work out; a Lonely Planet book; a 7mb digital camera for pictures with a 8GB SD cards with a 1GB spare, and an itinerary reviewed by two people at my work that used to live in New Zealand as well as a friend from class that travelled there with his wife in 2006 . Apparently you can use the iphone sms and call functions with data roaming off and surf for free in hotspots.
Things that were actually useful
- Iphone w/ Earphones - useful got pics, entertaining games, music in the car when you have no radio, and email updates when passing by rare wifi hotspots. Tip: download air new Zealand iphone app for trip planning
- Lonely Planet - the bible of travelling enough said.
- Navman GPS - the $8NZ a day paid off once I left the parking lot. We hardly got lost with the amount of driving I had to do. We Picked it up at the Auckland Airport
- Digital Camera
- Printed Itinerary - used mostly expedia and Egencia, the corporate version, priceline, Jet Star for air flights between New Zealand towns.
