Final update!! Goal was hit xmas morning thank you all so much!! Best xmas gift ever. 🎁 If you tipped for this and I have not messaged u please message me! I'm leaving the rewards available till new years. So if you'd still like to contribute you can, or you can up your tier. Nz changed their border rules and pushed back their opening while this goal was running and after I purchased the ticket. My flights are flexible thankfully. I'm currently looking into options like going through the managed isolation which is a govt quarantine u pay for. It looks like it's only $1000 more which I'm confident I can manage. The difficulty is getting an available slot so I'm just waiting till more news comes out about when the border will open to me for self isolation before deciding. I'll keep u guys posted
