New Zealand----giving thought to moving to Nelson New Zealand--sort of a
last fling--the town is on Northern coast of South Island--sort of like San
Diago 30 years ago--full of sea food old english cathedral an irish
pub --surrounded by vinyards [replacing sheep farms and close where the
Motueka and Baton rivers meet--big browns.....

Sorry I can't answer your questions, Joe, but I can tell you that when
I was a green-as-grass marine pilot, back in the early '50s, most of
the older guys in the squadron had spent WW II in the Pacific, and
more precisely, had spent R&R leaves in New Zealand. They allo said
it was like heaven on earth.

Of course, they were probably more interested in the young maidens
than the big browns; but in any case, the sea food, Irish pub and
vineyards sure sound inviting!
