You'd have to pay for a lot of excess baggage if you put Miss D in a suitcase

This follows on from three hectic weeks on the North Island! I do have my doubts about Christchurch tho because of the 'quakes so we may play around with that for a bit... I've seen geysers-a-plenty in Yellowstone so am prepared to give Rotorua a miss... Christchurch will have good hotels though. You can only slum it for so many days in lessYou may have a point on Rotorua. It was spectacular but had all the appearance of a theme park. Not done Yellowstone but did do Iceland where it was very scary with absolutely no elf and safety at allBut Mount Cook just has to be doneCan't see how to squeeze in Mount Cook this trip... Yellowstone is awesome! Have done it several times, both summer and winter (on a snowmobile)... Old Faithful every 72 mins is incredible...

Was going to do it last year with the eclipse but USA is on our no go list right now cos of that oaf
