My Aunt and Uncle just returned from New Zealand and they are ecstatic about their trip.  They said it was one of the most beautiful countries that they had ever visited.  They loved the beaches and the beautiful scenery.  They said that they have never felt as relaxed as they did on this trip.  The beaches were very clean and the water was clear and beautiful.  They stayed at one of the Pauanui Holiday Homes and they had mentioned that it was the most wonderful home that they could ever imagine.  I would love to follow in their shoes and plan a trip like this in the very near future.
