New Zealand Posts

We are now back from New Zealand. It was a wonderful trip!

I put up a few posts while we were there, and am adding new posts as I have time. The post date for each entry is the date we did that part of the trip, not the date I published the post.

All of the New Zealand posts are in November, so a good way to read them is to use the Blog Archive for November 2008 (see the right side of the blog), or use the "table of contents" at the end of this message, or click this link and read from the bottom up:

We only visited the South Island. We started in Christchurch, spent two nights there, then spent seven nights on the road touring around the South Island in a campervan before returning to Christchurch for two more nights and the flight home. Well, OK, we did visit the North Island briefly, but only the Auckland airport. Our flights were Boston - San Francisco - Auckland - Christchurch, and the reverse.

There are presently (as of 11/30/08) 15 posts about New Zealand. As I post new entries about New Zealand, I will note it in an UPDATE on this post, to help you figure out if anything new has been added since the last time you looked.

UPDATE 12/27/08: Published posts for Nov. 20 and 21 and finished the posts for Nov. 22. Now complete through Nov. 23. There are now 29 posts about New Zealand.
