Hi Button
Just make certain you keep in touch and come and visit us in Tauranga. I have a brother in Gig Harbour not too far away from your digs. When we were over your way in 2013 I did not realise you were there. Did catch up with the Stinsons and the Hendersons ( Tom had gone over to the dark side by selling the Morgan and replacing with a Mustang!)
Due to the popularity of New Zealand with the overseas public at the moment booking accomodation is probably preferable but one can probably get by provided one can accept accomodation a bit off the beaten track.
Keep in touch
