Gordon and I hope to fly to New Zealand next Frbruary.Joyce recently took a long trip, has anyone else? any recommendation as to what I should prepare for. Yes, we do have our Passports--(:D-- I am thinking of renting a Motorhome, for instance. We are going to fish, primarily. When we went to Emory, in Atlanta, the trip was Medfore-Portland--Atlanta. The last stage was four VERY long hours-that was two and a half years ago. That'sa our only long recent trip.
