Very cool L - my bro has taken me to lots of the places you listed! You might also want to check out the little island south of NZ - can't remember the name, but it's full of very primitive/primeval stuff - creatures and plants because they've made sure to keep it that way! Also, ask Gary to take you to some wineries to see the cellars and meet some folks - he is friends with the people who started Bungee jumping altho he's never done it! Don't forget he's eaten dinner with the Prime Minister and is in all the fancy mags so he does have some cool connections! Have fun, I know you will!
Love,
Kathy C.
