Always wanted to go to New Zealand. It reminds me so much of Vancouver Island, where I was born and lived for awhile. You definetly showed the pictures I really wanted to see. - Great Job!!! I still hold Vancouver Island as being one of the nicest Islands in all of North America because of its diverse topography. But New Zealand just seems a bit nicer with even more diverse scenery! Would rate them a # 1 amongst all Islands.
