Wayne, are you not enjoying Auckland? Maybe you need to try out the North Shore first...it feels very different from the other side (disclaimer: we only stayed in Bucklands for a week, but drove around a lot)

Leaving in an hour on a jet plane with a one way ticket. ...

Have a safe trip and all the best. Such an exciting yet nerve wracking experience. I'm envious. Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy [emoji16]

Christchurch is off the table. Company wants to wait before fulfilling the position.

Oh yeah, a South Side visit is definitely a must.

 

Don't worry about temperatures... that's what merino is for. Just come have fun!

You do realise that there is snow in all the pics you have posted?  I am a fair weather kinda guy which is why I chose the NI  (see what I did there, you have to be on your toes to pick up on all the acronyms).  When are you back in town again?
