Lessons & tips: In many restaurants, you get up to pay, rather than having the waitress pick up your money from the table. Resources: The Lonely Planet guide was a terrific reference. Once you know where you'll be going, just tear those sections out of the book so you can travel lighter. |

Who doesn’t want to visit New Zealand? I wanted to visit before The Lord of Rings was filmed there…I learned only two years ago that my biological father lived there for two years (we were reunited in September 2006).

The show was Richard Bangs’ Adventures with Purpose.

I’ve always dreamed of visiting New Zealand and Australia, ever since I was a little girl reading Harlequin romances set in that part of the world.
