Hope to be back in sunny scotland around March 2005, am based in Rotorua and have been for 2 years. Know what you mean about counting down the days had enough of the "relaxed lifestyle" that everyone talks about, but never get enough holidays to enjoy it, was on 7 weeks in UK, but was shocked to come to NZ and only get 3 plus the stats.

Dunno if it's worth it or not, spent $3000 on a Sony Wega flat screen and don't want to ship back for it not to work
