Howdy from Texas! I've visited your lovely
country twice and would love to go again.

Exchange rate's getting better for you (our $ is dropping). Make sure
you make it back to the "mainland" (south island) I'm in
Christchurch BTW (lovely cloudless day today, no wind, warm so long as
yer standing in the sun - bit on the cool side otherwise

I would have to count the South Island as my
favorite. I was fortunate to have a month stay
each of the two times I visited, so over the two
visits I traveled as far north as Cape Reinga,
and as far south as Stewart Island. There are a
few places I didn't get to and would like to visit,
and of course lots of places to re-visit.

Take care - Gail
