New Zealand . . . Has Fabulous Shorelines!

Yes, we made it to New Zealand! It's only a 3-4 hour plane ride from Brisbane, so of course, we had to go. We spent two weeks over there, and it wasn't nearly enough. We had an absolutely amazing time, driving from Christchurch to Dunedin to Milford Sound to Queenstown (for New Year's!) to the Abel Tasman National Park to the Marlborough Sound (wine country!) and back around to Christchurch. Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it again. And the best news of all . . . we successfully avoided anything related to Lord of the Rings! :)
