New Zealand is our first stop outside of the U.S. and it's a place where I've been itching to go since 1995. I'm not sure why I haven't yet. Things always seemed to arise that were a higher priority - school, work and more school. And now that school is done...

I happened upon this zorbing site whose quote seemed to match descriptions I've heard for some of the NZ tourist spots...

 
Where New Zealand once again leads the world in stupid things to do while you're not thinking about work. I love it.
