spospe Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 There was a long article on this subject in MMM a few years ago, when a couple toured Australia and then New Zealand, followed by the USA. A swift email to the magazine could give you the actual year / month of the report and I think that back issues would be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyishuk Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You could drop an email to the NZ AA and ask their advice. The NZ AA are usually very helpful, and would do what they can to assist. http://www.aa.co.nz/Pages/emailus.aspx Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line we used was wallenius wilhelmsen The Uk agent was jet international transport, heathrow limited, unit 7 the freehold centre, amberly way.tw46bh, 08503374. we shipped via panama canal and US and had nowt nicked- folks who we know shipped via africa- lots nicked [there and back!!!!!!] we picked up in southhampton Check WW site for routes- Rollonrolloff ferry If it will fit in a container- so so so much cheaper!!!!!
