Celebrate NYE twice in one night with Holidaysplease

Dec. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Celebrate NYE first of all in Auckland, joining the parties in Viaduct Basin.  Then, on New Year’s Day, fly at 17:35 with Air New Zealand to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands; as you’re crossing the International Date Line, you’ll effectively be going back in time, and returning to 2011.  The plane arrives in Rarotonga at 22:30, leaving enough time to leave the small airport, and head into Avarua to welcome 2012 all over again!  

If anyone is sufficiently mad and fearless of jetlag to undertake this journey, here’s a package to and from the UK:

Holidaysplease (0845 365 6565, http://www.holidaysplease.co.uk) offers a six-day itinerary from £2,600 pp (two sharing).  It departs 29 December and includes flights to/from Heathrow via Auckland and Rarotonga (stopovers in Hong Kong and Auckland) and a night each’s accommodation in the five-star Langham Hotel in Auckland and four-star Sunset Resort on Rarotonga.
