Episode notes

Welcome to part one of our New Zealand adventure! 🎉 In this episode, Susan and Cort share their journey from the chaos of a 15-hour flight to the serenity of New Zealand’s stunning landscapes. ✈️🌿

We tackle the great airplane debate: To recline or not to recline?

[00:02:00] The tray-table jab incident.
[00:05:00] “Inside Out” at 2 inches away? No, thanks.
[00:08:00] How Cort found her voice mid-flight.
[00:10:00] Pro tips: Airplane hygiene, etiquette, and the case for business class.

Once we landed, it was smooth sailing (or flying?):

[00:11:00] New Zealand border control deserves a medal!
[00:12:00] Early check-in miracles and first impressions of Kiwi hospitality.
[00:13:00] Adjusting to life on the “other” side of the road.

We’ve got more adventures to share in the coming episodes—green hills, time zones, and maybe even learning to drive like a local. 🚗💨 For now, let’s rest up and dream of what’s to come!

Takeaways:

Be kind, considerate, and fresh-smelling on flights, folks. 🙃
Huge shoutout to New Zealand for being amazing right from the airport.

We’re just getting started—catch us next time for part two of our Kiwi escapades! 🥝
