Mixing business with
pleasure is always a good idea, and in November 2004 Kim and I took the
potentially horrendous 26 hour flight from Fort Lauderdale via Atlanta,
Los Angeles, Auckland eventually landing in Christchurch on New Zealand's
South Island.
While Kim enjoyed 5 days of
luxury in Christchurch, I used the time to do business in Christchurch,
Hamilton, Auckland, and Napier.
Christchurch
Kim and I both immediately
fell in love with Christchurch. Its a really picturesque town, with
stunning gardens and old British architecture dating back to the late
1800's. The people were amazingly friendly and polite wherever we went.
And everyone including shop
attendants, taxi drivers, river boat punters were absolutely incredulous
that we had voted Bush back into power for another 4 years. The Kiwis are
amazingly direct, not holding back and it was really refreshing
