I just got some brochures for a trip to New Zealand towards the end of
November. I like the idea of stay put vacations, e.g., one is called
Christchurch Nature. You spend four days and three nights in
Christchurch, and do your sightseeing from there. Then you pick up a
Queenstown stay put vacation which will take you to Fiordland World
Heritage Park, Cruise Lake Mariapouri. There is a catamaran cruise on
Doubtful Sound and return to Te Anau. There is also a cruise on Milford
Sound to the Tasman Sea. Return to whart at Milford Sound, and then coach
back to Queensland. What do you think? Should I add two more days to see
Franz Josef/Tranzalpine Train and then back to Christchurch and home? I
have never been to New Zealand, but on Nov. 23rd, I will be seventy one,
and I think this is the best way to go. Do you? I would appreciate any
opinions, as I am anxious to see New Zealand. I don't even know what
airfair cost. Thank you. Elaine
