ynneb -
Can we cross the 'Tassie? I know there are a few Kiwis participating on the 'zone too and the same long supply lines too. I'd be interested when I'm downunder, would you let a semi-ExPat Yank lurk? Metric though - that might be tooooo far.
I'm Jim. When in NZ, I'm on my boat in the beautiful Bay Of Islands - about 3 hours north of Auckland. Next year may be sailing/relocating to OZ. As for now, I fly in/out via RAAF Richmond, then via train to Sydney and on to NZ. Maybe a bit downstream - but would be happy to tip a few and have a bit of a chin-wag when we get there.
