What a gorgeous picture! I guess there's a reason everyone is always raving about the beauty of New Zealand.

I'm a Florida native, and live in Florida now, but I did live in New England from 2002-2005. We had to come back to Florida because the winters up there are brutal, but the rest of the year has such nice weather. And it is a liberal, progressive haven up there. I'd love to get a summer house there one day soon, and just live in Florida part of the year (the winter, the one time of year it's actually nice weather here). New England encompasses the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine. Parts of Vermont and upstate New York are also considered by some people to be part of New England.
