I and my wife are planning to visit New Zealand in November from
Washington, DC. Here is the tentative plan, I need to know if this
MAKES sense:

Nov 22- Arrive Auckland (from LA)
Nov 23- Evening fly to Queenstown
Nov 24- relax in Queenstown
Nov 25- Milford Sound day trip (coach)
Nov 26- Queenstown to Fox (can I bypass Franz Josef- we are planning
to take the helicopter ride on one of the glaciers) (coach)

There is only one main road up the West Coast - you will go through
Franz Josef township on the way to Greymouth.
Just north of Franz, you will be able to spot the FJ glacier from the
roadway.

Nov 27- Fox Glacier to Greymouth (Coach)
Greymouth to Christchurch (TranzAlpine)
Nov 28- Evening flight to Wellington

Nov 29- Evening coach to Rotura
If your travelling overnight, why just not fly?

Nov 30- Evening coach to Auckland

Dec 1- Early morning (flight to Sydney)

If we are pressed for time, we will skip Rotura
Thanks in advance,
Srini
