No, I'm not telling where we are thinking of going.
If, and for some people it's a big if, you can come to terms with the distance from the UK and a plane trip to anywhere else, it's a great place.
We did the landing on the glacier plane trip back in 1980!
However some of the NZ branch of the family moved from Auckland to Christchurch two years ago thinking Christchurch a better place to raise their children.

I can easily come to terms with the distance from the UK - thats one of the things that appeals Plus my family are looking to move out there in the next 2-3 years anyway Its not that bad a plane ride to places though. Its only 10-11 hours to the west coast US (which appeals for hols), no worse than the UK!
Syndey is only 2ish hours away as we stopped there en route, and the rest of Oz is pretty accessible as is Japan etc.
TurboMav cheers

I would live in NZ if it had the accessibility of Europe - but a two-hour flight just to get to Oz, and a hell of a lot more to get any further, suggests I'd get bored.
