White Island, New Zealand
I am so sorry to hear about the volcanic eruption on "White Island," New Zealand.
There was no warning. Tourists, many, are unaccounted for.

I Wish I could fly to Auckland right now
It's been about three weeks since I returned from New York City. It's always fun to start looking forward to trips for the near future. My younger sister who lives in the U K has already booked her flight to Sydney for May 8, 2020. We are planning to visit my older son, his wife and my grandchildren. I am still browsing for a decent fare.
Flights to anywhere can be found on this site:

Auckland, a City of Sails; NYC, a City of Wheels
Early Monday morning (08/05/19), I jumped on the East River Ferry, towards 34th Street, hopped off, walked towards Park Avenue. It was a brilliant sunny day - lunched with new friends near Madison Square Park - by the way, "ShakeShack," was still crowded despite renovations.

Christchurch and Winter in New Zealand
Kia Ora! Christchurch is a beautiful city, situated in the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It has a very diverse population, each maintaining their own heritage even though this large city's origin is English. So Canterbury and Christchurch is ideal for the tourist. Guides are available at the information center.
A childhood friend of mine lives in Christchurch.
Those of you who are planning to visit New Zealand, will find Christchurch as a very interesting destination.

Kia Ora!
It may be Winter in New Zealand but it's Summer in the northern hemisphere. This is the time of the year where many families and people are outdoors; enjoying picnics and fun. For those of you wanting to abstain from all those artery-clogging goodies, this will definitely flatter your taste buds; enjoy cooking and outdoor grilling:

Fly With Kids
When your young children are accompanying you on long flights, i.e., to New Zealand, one of the simple ways to help keep them stay occupied is by letting them carry a few books or hand-held small non-electronic games. Where can you possibly find these?

Not forgetting riding bikes on numerous challenging trails. So plan an adventure by visiting New Zealand!!

Christchurch - New Zealand
Despite the earthquake on February 22, 2011, Christchurch has reclaimed its place in New Zealand. It had affected the Canterbury Region in the South Island.
I was watching a PBS program on television a few hours ago and it reminded me that New Zealand is indeed a very, very beautiful country. Christchurch enjoys the heritage of Polynesian and Maori people.

It's Fall in Auckland - Kia Ora you all
Now that it's Fall 2019 in New Zealand, it's time to consider making that trip.
Funny, I had checked out a book from my local library. There was a cue for the travel book and so I returned it as it was in demand.
Interestingly, I received a promotional e-mail from Air New Zealand this morning; wow, it's so tempting!

2019
My thoughts and prayers are for the people of New Zealand. I am especially sad as both my grandchildren were born in Auckland. Christchurch is home to a high school friend of mine with whom I grew up in Shillong, Meghalaya, India. I am sentimental and wear a kiwi charm that dangles from a black string around my neck that my older son and his family sent me from Auckland. Air New Zealand is one of my favorite airlines as well.
