"Your Giant In The World Of Travel" 


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 pages.
