I want to go to New Zealand so I can try some exciting new adventures we don't have in the United States. I think this will be a fun trip. I planned to go in September because it's will be nice outside yet I can still snowboard. I hope you plan to do some of the same things I tried and have fun! ~ Ben Holthaus Expenses: Air fare round trip: $1661.00 Hostel Accommodations: 3 nights at 35.00 = 140.00 1 night at 22.50 = 22.50 3 nights at 30.00 = 90.00 = $287.50 Breakfast 7.50 x 7 days = $45.00 Lunch 15.00 x 7 days = $105.00 Dinner 25.00 x 7 days = $175.00 Snacks 10.00 x 7 days = $70.00 Total: $2343.50 Activities: Day one: Arrival and Hiking - Free Day Two: $149.00 Day Three: $319.00 Day Four: $143.50 Day Five: $165.00 Day Six: $170.00 Day Seven: $325.00 Total: 1271.50 Grand Total= $3615.00
