RE: New Zealand Views - Lakes Hayes, Mid Winter - Photography
Are you Kiwi? If so why hasn't that come up before this as we go back and forth?

LOL yes I am not sure how it never came up
Are you also a Kiwi I am originally from Hawkes Bay but haven't lived there for 30 years now and haven't even been back for a visit for about 5 years
You did mention in one exchange traveling there a couple of times but I thought it was on vacation. I'm not Kiwi, but if I could figure out how to get my kids and grand-kids to follow me there I could be. We spent a month there in March-April 2016 and are desperately trying to get back, because a month wasn't long enough to see everything!
Before we left I discovered a colleague was originally from there, and goes back a lot: he asked me to run over my itinerary during a boring drive to a work site, and when I was done said I'd got it wrong, 2 months in Oz and 1 in NZ was backwards! I thought this was just national pride, but after a week on South Island I emailed him 'you were right'!
Fond memories of Hawkes Bay wine!
Yes thats the same advise I give to anyone going there it is perhaps partially national pride but as you now know there I just so much to see and do in NZ for such a relatively small country
It was truly unexpected and outstanding - can't say enough about it. Why oh why did you leave?
Sometimes I ask myself that I did 3 years in Singapore with the MIlitary and I guess I got the travel bug and just never made it back
Karma - 25 years in Canadian Army, partly because I wanted to see the world. Still doing it (the travel, not the army!).
You must be on lunch, or your boss can't see what you are doing on your computer. LOL!
Yes eating lunch and on my phone replying :)
I'm having a typical retired day: shop for my wife who is fighting some leg pain and can't get out, bbq a pork tenderloin this afternoon for a cold salad she is going to serve tomorrow when we host some friends who moved out west a few years back and are back for a short visit. I still do some consulting but definitely don't miss work!
