Damn, I really envy you guys who do your Holiday shopping early. ;-) Today's mail brought two large plastic envelopes from NZ with NZ $21.50 in postage. I had inquired about going to the ranch about a year ago, so they must have put together this very thick portfolio on slick paper, with the sale info on one side, and the fishing/hunting info on the other, along with reprints from the NYT and Fly Fisherman magazine of articles about fishing at the ranch. It sounds oh so beautiful, and the pictures leave me gasping because of the beauty they show (and the big fish). A week at the ranch is US $3250. Not bad, really, for the accomodations look plush and the wine cellar has 10,000 bottles of fine wine. The kicker is getting there. Air fare from Boston would run about $2200 and take 31 hours. Just for ****s and giggles, I priced first class and business class. How about close to.....gasp...$13,000, while business class was a *mere* $8,000+. So, from Boston, a trip would run about $5500, which is cheaper than the best lodge in Alaska. But, how the hell do you survive a 31 hour trip? I thought flying from Japan to San Francisco in a C-121 Connie was long...... Dreams............. |

I thought flying from Japan to San Francisco in a C-121 Connie was long...... Dreams............. HI Dave I flew to NZ this Spring from LA and it was only 13 hours in the air. I think the time zone difference accounts for the 31 hours as you loose or gain a day depending which way you go. I didn t mind the flight at all, slept thru the nite which was most of the flight. NZ Air was very comfortable and had great food. I was at the "Ranch" did a helly ride from there out to somewhere with a funny name and some big fish..... Clarks a real nice guy and hooked me up with some good guides as he was booked the week I was there. From what I understand ( and that s somewhat limited) about NZ fishing is that we go at the wrong time, at least int he Taupo region. Tens of thousand of trout live int he lakes and come out into the rivers and streams in the winter to spawn. In the summer people wind up fishing over the few holdover fish that remain. Seems like it s being done backwards. MT |

I gave him a ROFF shirt and he gave me a Poronui Ranch cap--about all I could afford at that place.. After studying the immigration requirements for N.Z. I have decided to look a little closer to home. Am considering purchase of a single wide trailer that drifted onto shore of small river in Western N.C. after last storm---- price is right {there were no bodies inside ] but must buy quickly as neither trailer or shore is likely to be available after this week's storm. |
