The Swain Experience
09-21-2011
Eagerly, I planned this trip for my wife Linda and me to visit some of my favorite places in New Zealand, including some of the wonderful luxury lodges. Linda hadn't been to New Zealand in over ten years, so I was looking forward to sharing many new experiences with her since much has changed over the years. A leisurely trip is what we were after - to take our time and enjoy the lodges as well as our good friends we had met during our years of building SWAIN. I have visited New Zealand many times, but usually at a very quick pace so it was refreshing to be able to enjoy a relaxed driving trip between the lodges and the destinations where we love sending our clients.
We boarded our QANTAS 747 nonstop flight from Los Angeles to Auckland and after slipping into the complimentary pajamas, I looked forward to resting and relaxing. After a couple of movies, dinner and breakfast, and some rest, we were ready to land in Auckland after the eleven and a half hour flight. QANTAS service is wonderful as is the choice of meals in their Business Class cabin.
After a cheerful greeting by the Customs folk, we collected our bags and were met by Alan, our local car service representative who drove us the short way to the domestic terminal. We then boarded our Air New Zealand regional airplane bound for Taupo, just a short hop from Auckland. It was then onto the awaiting lodges!
This is what family is all about - sharing and enjoying experiences together that create lifelong memories. We at SWAIN love being part of this process as we realize how special this time is for these families and that the quality of the time spent is paramount. It is for that reason we ensure that we plan the most perfect experience to suit each family group.
With family and adventure in mind, we are constantly creating new and wonderful experiences based on bringing families together, along with building lasting memories sure to be talked about for the years to come. We’ll look forward to creating these wonderful memories together.
Happy Travels,
