If so, what is it like? What kind of advice would you give me about New Zealand? Also, any good tips about the flight there (since there is a HUGE time difference and my jetlag would be awful I'm sure).
There is a pretty good chance that I might be taking a trip there in the near future and any insight would be most welcomed.

More things to see, IMHO, on the South Island, than the North, but didn't get to Rotorua for geothermal stuff, as had been to Yellowstone. Did enjoy Bay of Islands at end of 3 weeks, however. There's probably a greater variety of things to see and do in an area the size of the state of Colorado, than anywhere else on the globe.
