I saw BJ looking in on us yesterday, Maggie, and keenly awaited his all-important 'first post from NZ', which I was sure he was about to make. But...nothing.

I gather from Facebook that he's enjoyed his first few days downunder, so that's good news at least.

I've removed your duplicate post, Maggie, in case you wonder where it's gone .

I was too impatient to wait for news to break on here so I visited their blog site. Looks like they're doing OK .

I want to know how much was the taxi from AKL to Hamilton? I had counted on taking a bus to get our rental car from Taffy.

I'm glad to hear you got sorted out so quickly. And now you'll be off for Christchurch, eh?

selchie, Taff will come and get you from Aucks and bring you down to Hamilton, just flick him some money for petrol (probably about $50) and he's at your service

That might work. Gotta check public transport options from the airport, just for the sake of thoroughness. It could save Taffy some time & bother, too.
