Auckland

If there is one thing I hate about going to Auckland it's that to catch the 6.30am flight you have to be up at 4.45am, and leave for the airport at 5.20am. By the middle of the afternoon all you want to do is have a nap, but you've got to keep concentrating until the day is over - and then you fly home and get home later than usual.

And then you disappear to bed by 8.00pm because you are so exhausted from the early start and from trying to pack lots of meetings and work in your day. At least what I worked on has been moved significantly along.

And another thing you can rely on in Auckland - it will rain at some point. Yesterday, it was just as the plane was taxiing to takeoff back to Wellington.

You can also rely on the traditional welcome to Wellington for all air passengers - full reverse thrust, maximum brakes.
