Jetset Babies - Baby supplies shipped to your holiday destination

Here's an interesting idea....  A company that will ship baby supplies to your holiday destination.
I came across this website by accident and if you are travelling within the US and concerned about luggage allowance etc, you should definitely check it out.

The company offers a wide range of goods from food & drink, baby toys, bath time, diapers to pool toys.  Simply check with your hotel that they will receive a package on your behalf and then place your order at least 14 days prior to your visit.

The website mainly focuses on US travel but it does offer shipping internationally.

Planning your trip - New Zealand!

One of my favourite pastimes is planning our vacations.  I'm a bit of a geek, I get lost in website after website of advice and itineraries, get my spreadsheet out and get excited!  I spend hours reading reviews of accommodation to ensure I pick the right one and fret over transport connections, prices and what the weather will be.  But.. I love absolutely every second of it.
I have been in planning mode again, this time for a potential trip to New Zealand in November.  I wanted to share some great websites I've found:

Tripadvisor
Goes without saying this is the big daddy of trip planners!  I can't get enough of it!  I put a question up on a North Island forum and within 1 day someone has written me the perfect NZ itinerary
