Yup, you're on the right track. Another consideration is the time it takes to recover from the jet lag. The first couple days, you'll be completely zooked. You'll wake up in the middle of the night, bright eyed, and absolutely have to take a nap in the afternoon that'll find you waking up 8 hours later in the middle of the night! It took us a good 3 or 4 days to adjust and really didn't get completely adjusted for a couple weeks.
That said, meeting up with Timbo and/or sox on the front end during the adjustment period might be a great idea. Then you can decide where to go from there and catch NZ on the back end when you'd be able to enjoy it more if you have the time.
We're gotten to avoid itineraries as they always turn out to be way too aggressive and it stops us from being able to just chill when we find an interesting place to stay a while.
