Goway Travel is my favorite
supplier for travel to New Zealand and Australia. I was honored to be
chosen as the Social Media Superstar for their 40th Anniversary Familiarization
Travel Agent trip to New Zealand. Goway Travel was looking for one agent
to take photos and post them online to their Facebook page to let everyone know
about what was happening and what we were experiencing on the trip. When I
saw on their webpage that they were looking for somebody to take on this
challenge I sent in my submission along with my webpage from my previous trip to
New Zealand in 2000. I was lucky enough to see the Goway Travel competition for
the Social Media Superstar about 1 month before the trip departed so I was
probably one of the last to send in my submission. I was lucky enough to
win the spot about a week later. This trip ended up being one of the best
travel agent trips I've ever taken. I've never been on a travel agent trip
before where everyone on the trip got along so well. I made 10 great new
friends that I will keep in touch with always.

It was a whirlwind trip
though with only 6 days in New Zealand before culminating with our group
meeting 3 other travel agent groups traveling in Australia and the South
Pacific for Goway Travel's 40th Anniversary 70's Themed Birthday Party in
Sydney for 1 night. What follows is my journal and photos from this
trip. As I wrote earlier I had been to New Zealand before in 2000 and
I've always said it was my favorite trip of all I've taken. This trip
reinforced those feelings. New Zealand is a wonderful place with
incredibly friendly people who always make you feel at home even when you
are over 8500 miles away from your actual home. I also joked with
everyone I know that all my maniacal picture taking finally truly paid off
when I was chosen to take part on this trip. I hope you enjoy the following
