Plans ? Mostly the North Island. Coromandel, the Volcanoes (e.g. Ruapehu), the wine area (like Western Cape, ZA) around Hastings, where it should be nice weather.
I'll bring my 11cm ED refractor and binos anyway. No problem with Emirates. I planned my trip with New Moon in the middle of my stay.
We will stay in AirBNB's as we don't like motels.

Are there amateur astronomers in the neighborhood ?

It's not like Europe where often you don't see the sun for weeks, at all.
Especially not in late summer.
