My favourite and best trip was Wellington. [In reply to] Can't Post

It was a total surprise how much I enjoyed staying IN the city; but Wellington is magical. 15 minute walk in any direction and you're either climbing a mountain or standing by the water or enjoying an old section of the city transformed into a stree closed down to become an oasis of shops, restaurants and fountains ;)

I do plan an itinerary simply so I don't forget where I'm supposed to be when... like, this airline at that time, and reminders of what I'd like to see (i.e. Botanic Garden, Miramar, Embassy Theatre, Museums, etc.). But I really want to just leave my time open and uncluttered. Then if I want to fill in the spaces/time, I do :) Walking in the gardens, parks, and woodlands is the best.

BUT, trips are few and far between. I really do prefer to be home. This upcoming trip will be my last one... unless I can, someday, save enough to get to NZ again. I'm homesick for Wellington.

Great poll, zarabia! :D
