Chani’s friend Sian offered to drive us around Auckland (outside of the actual CBD). She took us to see Mission Bay, had beer and pizza at Garrison’s, visited One Tree Hill, visited the North Shore, visited Devonport.

We then came back to the hotel where Chani and Sian got to drinking and had a girls night out. I stayed behind because I was feeling a bit sick.

Got back from the gathering. It was a good experience. I met a lot of really nice people.

One thing that I thought was awesome was that I was recognised and that the more known YouTubers actually watch my videos (like the pre-gathering video that Chani and I did). I was really nervous when Levi Beamish, more known throughout YouTube as CorporalCadet, came up to us and actually knew our usernames. It was like a celebrity knew who I was.. *fangirl scream*

Made an effort to go around to the different crowds and say hello. The last gathering I went to (the only gathering I went to) was the Sydney one, and I was really shy that day and didn’t really talk too much.

Overall, I had a good time being there and meeting new people. Thank you to Jess and Tenani for organising the event and a big thank you to Vodafone NZ for sponsoring the event.

I received a text message from an airline company informing me to call them in the morning to talk about a flight that was cancelled. I immediately panicked because I wasn’t sure which flight was cancelled.

So I decided to call the airline company straight away to find out which of the two flights was cancelled. See, I was originally flying from Adelaide to Melbourne at 6:30 am, arriving at almost 8 am. The Melbourne to Auckland was at 9:45 am, arriving at 3pm.

You wouldn’t believe which one was cancelled…

The lady on the other end of the phone told me that the Adelaide to Melbourne flight was cancelled due to technical issues.. Apparently they were fixing the engines that night and believed that they won’t be able to get it done in time.

As anyone would, I started to freak. I informed the lady of my connecting flight to Auckland. She spoke to her supervisor and gave me a few options.

After a while, she placed me in a flight from Adelaide to Sydney at 9am, then a Sydney to Auckland flight at 6:30pm.

It was my only option, since my friend Chani was going to be arriving at the airport from Christchurch the same day (as well as not forfeiting the hotel room I pre-booked). The bonus part was that I didn’t have to pay for anything (since it was the airline fault).

I called the hotel to inform them of my late arrival, then emailed Chani through facebook, then YouTube, then messaged her friend Lydia to tell her to check her emails.

As I was waiting at the airport, I received a call from Chani. She told me that her flight was cancelled as well and that she doesn’t arrive until 30 minutes before me. A big sigh of relief…

Fast forward to now, we’re in our hotel room… all tired.. Exploring Auckland later today.
