    I will be going come november.
    saved 25% using Jetstar because I had to squeeze the pennies.
    But at least I got 6 hours at AKL before going to SIN.
    Cant wait since I am "plane crazy".
    Been to St maarten and Skiathos.

      I will. But i hope the hotel agrees to let the key sit in the lock.
      But when i go home its 6 hours in Auckland & 8 hours in Singapore before hitting copenhagen for breakfast.

    The thing that was hard to leave in raro is the weather and the DOGS there are so any dogs everywhere and the slept outside on our deck every night and would come for walks with us down to the beach and stuff I miss the dogs

      @@emmaandmatt5003 Kia Orana guys, actually the Cook Islands is part of the "Realm of NZ" which means it is a self-governing territory". Cook Islands do not have their own passport and are NZ Citizens so have access to Australia as well.

      Hi there! The Cook Islands are still quite strict about their borders so we're not too sure at this stage - but we find this web page is good for both flight information and border info: www.rome2rio.com/s/Philippines/Cook-Islands hopefully that helps!

    We went there and got married, regretted it, the staff at the resort , very rude, verging on intimidating, at times, lots of big bully boys around, ate at a resteraunt , in town, everyone got sick, with gastro , l suspect they put , feces, in the food, l couldn’t wait to leave, lm never going back .fck, Cook Islands.
