New Zealand - Our Trip to Middle Earth
Larry, Derek, Erin and I are going to New Zealand for some warm weather and beautiful scenery. Derek can only stay for two weeks, so he will go home early. We have planned to go to Hobbiton on the North Island and take a Lord of the Rings tour out of Queenstown on the South Island. We are all Lord of the Rings fans. We also hope to see many new birds and learn about the native cultures on the Island. I have always wanted to see New Zealand because in college I wrote my Sociology term paper on the Maori people.
