Megan Singleton: BloggerAtLarge.com writer on the launch of the new Mānawa Bay outlet mall

Travellers and companions with time to spare will have opportunity to explore the new shopping mall opening right by Auckland Airport this week. The new $200-million-plus premium outlet centre Mānawa Bay opened on Thursday, with launch celebrations running from September 19-22. BloggerAtLarge writer Megan Singleton says this might seem like an unusual spot to set up a mall - but it gives people staying in the nearby hotels something to explore without going as far as the city.
