Something/somewhere that is typical " Kiwiana" real or fictional,( eg Footrot Flats) plenty there but to play around with. Lots of well known Faces and places.

I've expanded your title for you, OK? It will give people a better idea what to expect. Is there a particular date that's significant for Kiwis that we might want to schedule around?

I question whether New Zealand even exists. Any true believers wanna fly me there to prove it to my face?

That's Middle Earth, dude... Try sheep; they have LOTS of sheep... And sailboats... And green fields and craggy mountains... That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge of New Zealand.

Hince my question, since most people only know of New Zealand what they saw in LOTR and Hobbit...

And what does it say that Google Chrome doesn't recognize "Zealand" as a word?

Beetle who is a trip organizer extraordinaire. You would not believe just how organized she is.

We also have the added advantage of having friends who live on the North Island in Whangaparaoa and I am really looking forward to seeing them again.
