Some clarifications. When my sister rang and asked me to go, and I said yes I would, she immediatley rang and changed her hubbies ticket over to me, she had to pay a fee to do that. I think it was well over 100.00.
I certainly would not be going to the airport with someones elses ticket. That would be silly.
Also last time I went over, a number of years ago now, Every purchase or withdrawal I made, when I got home as well as the amount there was an extra transaction for the exchange rate and charges.
Buffy, I am flying into Wellington.

Ok Wombat. Don't forget the exchange rate. I will send you over 3,000. I expect 3,750 back and I want it back well before I fly out.
Unfortunatley Myrtle can't go. Sister is not willing to pay her fare too.

Just found out I am going to another wedding in NZ next March.
The one this March is my brothers son.
The one next March is my sisters son.

Will have plenty of time to save up for that one.
