Have to, have to see whales!! Is this seasonal? Are you more likely to see whales at any specific time? Thought they were migrational? I cried at SeaWorld so Gaud knows what I'll be like seeing them in their own habitat! Just awesome, beautiful, stunning, awesome, moving, astonishing, beautiful, thought provoking, honest, awesome, beautiful, astounding, speech rendering......running out of superlatives but you get the picture. Honestly, blubbering I was, got everyone started. It was the only thing in Florida I enjoyed!
Amy, luge in Rotorua? Didn't think there was any snow or ice there? Is it an indoor thing then? Your list is ace, would love to do that helicopter thing and land on a glacier!! Wow!! 5 of us though do you reckon they'd give us a discount? Lol! Charlie loves mini golf so that's a must and Gary of course being a golfer (or so he says) takes it all far too seriously, shuffling his feet and all that rubbish, get a grip Gaz!!
Kokopeli what's this flying fox? Is it some kind of white knuckle ride? Charlie keeps asking if they have any theme parks in NZ. He loves these death wish rides! I didn't think they had anything like this? Please describe. How long did you spend touring, sounds like months or have you been on several excursions up and down the islands? Sounds like you had a great time anyway.
No one's recommended any horse treks yet. Has anyone heard of Hurunui horse treks? About 100km out of Christchurch they offer 7 day rides across country. Sounds amazing doesn't it?
Kokopeli, our options are open as to where to settle yet. We think the Wellington area is likely simply because of its connections with the Performing Arts. In the UK I am the main bread-winner, I teach dance but not in a school (I would have to explain), I run a little theatre company for kids and also teach voice privately from home. Although Gary has a degree in Humanities he's never used it specifically in his work and so can't get extra experience points with it. I have the experience but not the quals! Our oldest daughter who has just left school also wants to go to PA college and there are a good few around Welly but we really are open to whatever is going to come our way. It's extremely liberating actually, if a little frightening. People here think we're mad!
How on earth are we going to fit this lot into a month as well as finding a rental and doing all the other stuff we have to do?
