August and/or September 2016, I have a wonderful opportunity to sabbatical in New Zealand. The location is open for negotiation with the parties, my preference being Wellington. My question, housing is freakishly expensive for anything close to Wellington City Center, and to rent the cheapest vehicle for commuting would run 700+ US dollars. So, does anyone have suggestions for housing, points of interest, professional contacts in the commercial aviation or general aviation communities (for my husband so he does not get too bored!). In general, any information would be greatly appreciated. In my youth, I spent quite awhile on the south island, but most of our time will be on the north island, this trip. Thank you for sharing! cdw
Gandalf turns Bilbo into Smaug, who then eats Gandalf? Sadly, I suppose that's not too much further from the book than the Hobbit movie trilogy was....
