Thank God for Free Wifi at the Vancouver Airport!

Lesson #1: To enter New Zealand, you cannot just have a one-way ticket. 

We knew this, but since we are winging our travels, and since we have a ticket leaving Australia to Papua New Guinea in July, we figured this would be enough to prove we are actually leaving the country eventually. 

That's a big fat NO. 

One hour before boarding our flight to Auckland from Vancouver, we went to try to snag some cheap first class upgrades (which we didn't go for with the whopping $2300 price tag - that's EACH). Instead, we had our boarding passes confiscated until we showed proof that we would eventually leave NZ. Obviously, they were very concerned that we would stay. 

So getting to the subject title of this entry: Free Wifi in YVR saved us (thanks Saurabh for the laptop)! We bought some fully refundable tickets leaving NZ. Ha! We showed them! Now we're going to return our tickets and stay even longer!

So it begins...
