It sounds like you're going to need a holiday to get over all that!!
We're just off for a 3 week expedition around NZ... and we thought we'd be busy... but by the sounds of things we ain't got a spot on you.
We've never been very keen on holidays lying on a beach, or around a hotel swimming pool, maybe because we go here most weekends whilst we are in Africa:

Having said that we're off to Key Largo, with the grandkids, for two weeks on Boxing Day as they wanted to swim and snorkel in a warm climate.

Andrew I hope that you, and Anne, enjoy your soujorn in New Zealand, did you eventually hire a Morgan? Whichever car you are touring in, we look forward to seeing the photos and don't forget to bring us back a bottle of Cloudy Bay - Sauvignon Blanc (or even THE precious

).

Thanks Liftoff for your post also and we hope it is indeed a splendid excursion; if not the holiday of a lifetime.
