14.19: Kiwi Adventure 11: Planes, Pains, and Packing Woes

Geek Girl Soup

Our last morning in Auckland is full of chaos, laughter, and some serious packing drama. Join Susan and Cort as they reflect on their whirlwind trip through New Zealand, with its “gentle” hills (spoiler: they lied), incredible sights, and unforgettable moments.

In this episode, we:

• Navigate the wild streets of Auckland during morning rush hour. 🚒🚗
• Debate the fine art of suitcase packing—and why heavier items are always the cutest. 🎒👗
• Share plans for museums, travel snacks, and DeLorean-level time travel back home. ✈️🕰️
• Dream up future career moves: travel suites, TV series about “murder rooms,” and becoming sugar babies. 🛏️💼
• Discuss plane seating strategies, mysterious condo maintenance, and who’s most likely to survive a 19-hour flight in style. 💺✨

From Huey Lewis shout-outs to Rear Window references, it’s a fittingly geeky end to a trip we’ll never forget. Pack your bags and geek on with us!
