I finally made it to the North Island of New Zealand last night. I've been in the South for 2 1/2 months with every intention of touring through the North as well but I've only just made it here. And my plane leaves in four hours.
I'm leaving for Hawaii just before noon and I have mixed feelings about it. I've absolutely loved New Zealand. It's a wonderful place to visit and I can see why so many people try to immigrate here. One of the biggest reasons I saw so relatively little of the country was because of the amazing people I met along the way. I didn't see much of the land but I met so many of the best people. That's what put me back in Dunedin and Clinton three, four, five+ times for sure.
I'm going to miss NZ but I know I'll be back. Traveling here is so easy that it doesn't even feel like traveling. It feels more like home.

It was great meeting you Jim, even if it was just for a few hours. You're a very easy guy to be around. My door will be open when you FINALLY do that North Island tour! Happy travelling.
