Back from New Zealand & Australia and finally getting caught up on my sleep. Trip was great as I was just hitting the end of their summer so great weather and long days. Spent two days/nights in Auckland, 2 days/nights in Christchurch and 4 days/nights in Sydney. Not much free time, but did get in golf at one of the top courses in NZ 1.5 hours out in the country of the South Island, very close to where Lord of the Rings was filmed. One of the most beautiful country side I've ever seen. Also spent one day wine tasting in the Hunter Valley region, 2 hours north of Sydney, tasting some incredible Shiraz. Had numerous great meals eating incredible fresh seafood and lots of local meats: lamb, beef, venison and even some kangaroo and emu in Australia. I definitely recommend a trip out to both countries to see the cities and the countryside, as the weather is great, people are extremely friendly, beaches are fantastic, lots of golf & wine, great local food, and good sights.

18 holes on sat in 80 degree weather. Wish my score was closer to the temps. I'm in town for at least a week before any more travel.
