New Zealand just moved up on my "bucket list" of places to visit. I had planned to visit that country in Spring, 2020... Now, I want to visit there even more!

Thanks for boosting my fernweh! (That's a German word for "farsickness," the opposite of homesickness).

We went back 5 times together and she went back a few times alone. What a great place and I have a wonderful extended family. NZ does welcome outsiders for visits but not Billionaires so much. I always felt perfectly safe walking around Christchurch at night as a slightly inebriated sailor back in '70. I hope to make one last trip in my old age. The Prime Minister could be your next door neighbor. Isn't she terrific ?
