Happy Days an Irish Lad, I was starting to feel lonely!!

We grew up in Brooklyn,  ny. After marriage,  we lived in Houston and Louisville. We.moved to Baltimore and raised our family of 7 kids, married them off and are reaping a harvest of 23 grands so far.  (Our revenge on the Nazis. )

Welcome to the forums!

Had to look up where you live - my god is that ever beautiful! 

Me too!! will you adopt me please !!!!!!!

Hi Tekohiwi,

My husband and I are going to New Zealand in January. We only have time for South Island ... (three weeks of driving around).  We tried to figure out a way to do both  North and South islands , but there is just too much to see and do. Your area looks wonderful too. We are very excited to travel to your beautiful country and we hope to return to do the north Island someday.

We live in the San Diego area of California.

Hi Donna

I agree there is too much to see it all in one go - unless you have a couple of months. We hope to buy a self contained caravan next year and have a good look at the South Island too. We are very biased but the Coromandel is beautiful. We have been to San Diego a couple of years ago and loved it. Enjoy your trip. Bill 😎

It sure is - but when we visited Vancouver Island it reminded us of home.

Sure - do you have a boat ?? Fishing is great. 

Born S. side of Chicago llinois, schooled there, moved to S. Florida early '70's, then to Central Florida  since. I have a urostomy, but my wife had a colostomy which I took care of before she passed, my thoughts go out to colostomates a much tougher row to hoe.

Welcome to the forums, Butch. I'm sorry to hear about your wife, but it sounds like she was lucky to have you.
