Hi American Guy

I think your approach has a lot going for it - how many people arrive without having done at least some investigation into the country they're going to, then end up being disappointed when they get there?

I'd encourage anyone to visit first if they can, before making that final jump. It's not for everyone, although for us it definitely was.

And I think the differences between the US and NZ are larger than the differences between the UK and NZ.
