Here's the plan

One or two days together in Wellington, and that's it. Short on purpose.

You're flying a very long way, so the reunion shouldn't eat the whole trip. Think of it as the anchor at one end: we get our time together, and then everyone scatters off on their own New Zealand adventure from there — north, south, whatever you're into. Come early, stay late, do the thing you'd have come for anyway.

Kids, partners and friends are all welcome. The rough shape is a couple of afternoons: adults doing adult things, kids doing kid things in a group. Wellington is small and very good at this.

Why

The original pitch, back in 2014, was an experience so soul-enriching that people still remember it as a highlight of their life when they're old.

That mostly held up. So: again, further away, with more kids in tow.
