It’s a dream. Beautiful and full of a lot of amazing and kind people. If I believed in heaven, it would look like the South Island.

In this case, it hurts laughing. Stop bragging, New Zealand. Most of us did not want tRump. The gop and Russia are to blame.

I'd been planning a trip for over 10 years. It actually got canceled for different reasons a few months back, before this Covid-19 nightmare started. I guess I should be relieved but it's stuff like this that makes me wish I was there. Heck, wouldn't mind getting "trapped" there. I can work from anywhere in the world if I have an internet connection (and my clients aren't all closed for business, like they are right now).
