STUFF Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says a travel bubble with the Cook Islands could be open before the end of 2020. OPINION: Four months seems like a long time to wait for tropical sunshine when you’re in the grip of a New Zealand winter, but there’s no harm in planning – or just dreaming about – your island getaway now.
