Cheers Pixie.

I swore I'd never use any service provided by the AA (UK based) ever again after they pissed me about with bike recovery once, but I suppose I could give their NZ operation a chance

(Ignoring the fact that it's published in the UK obviously, lol)

Ha, cool. A quick Google search revealed the attached. Does this look like Stu/Sniper then? Stu, we'll be looking for a dodgy looking character dressed in school uniform at the airport then eh mate?

Likewise, we shall endeavour to get the largest Easter egg possible in to the suitcase for Beemer and hubby

I WAS joking! But if you must... I would eat it, just to be polite, mind!

Get yourself this far south and you've got a place to stay, off orad parking, warm bed and right by the main road etc etc - just give me prior warning in case I plan on being away.
BTW I too (like my daughter MyGSFX) have a UK passport. should you need me to accompany you bakc for any reason...

We're looking to buy a road map of both islands to plan our trip, can anybody recommend the best one please

Tony, Nasty just bought the best one I have EVER seen (and I have a map fetish). We've just used it for our North Island Tour and the minor road detail is great as well as having main centre maps in it. The one we have is just the North Is, I assumes they have a South Is one as well.

Scale for district road maps is 1:250,000 (pgs 1-86)
District Map enlargements 1:175,000 (pgs 87-98)
City & Town Maps 1:25,000 (pgs99-109)

Here's what it says inside.
