Speaking of New Zealand, I saw a program last weekend on the making of 'The Lord of the Rings' and now I want to go there! New Zealand looks like it has some amazing country, Hell! Peter Jackson said it was the ideal place to shoot the Rings movies because it has all of the different types of country that they needed but without the encroachment of civilization that would have made the films impossible to make in say, Great Britain.
