[Mark Nelson <mnelson@brls.com>]

Ever since a good friend of mine visited New Zealand a few years ago,
and brought back tons of pictures, I had always been fascinated to go
there (when I actually have time).  Now I have to admit, that I am
getting even more motivated to see what it's like there...

Best Regards,
