I plan on taking a trip to New Zealand, hopefully in the not too distant future, with a lovely group of ladies to visit another lovely lady who lives there :) Even thought New Zealand is not her favorite place she's lived (and she's lived in quite a few different places like England, Hong Kong, and Australia so I trust her judgement), I still want to visit and have her as my tour guide. She says that even when it's supposed to be summer, the weather may dip to single digits and pelt you with giant hail. Hopefully when the five of us meet up in the land of hobbits, we'll luck out with sunshine and good times :)
Someday soon I hope!
