Hi fisheress,
Great to hear from you again! Sounds like everything is turning out just fine and it is certainly a big relief to have the kids happy.
Yes, I think the South Island is just great too, but prefer the north for the winter months! Mmm, I have a dream ... of a bach around the Marlborough Sound/Nelson area where we could visit during the summer and walk, kayak and swim.
Great news about your folks too! You must be so pleased to be able to have more family around. Your sister will now have a bigger excuse to travel to NZ more in future.
