Rentals that allow dogs

Hi

I appreciate this topic has come up before (and I have PMed a couple of people) but I was wondering whether there were any new members since then.

Re: mild winter??????????

Yes, but I didn't appreciate at the time it was streets ahead of a "Classic Villa". If only the cave had been in an up and coming neighbourhood like Pt Chev!

Re: Anyone flown with EMIRATES

I can only base this on a 3 and a half hour flight but I found Emirates to be really good. Nothing I could put my finger on but lots of small, nice touches that added up to a great experience.

Hi

Anyone know of any other way to sell items other than Trade Me?

Re: Moving from the UK to NZ after being discharged from Bankruptcy.

I can concur on this one. I had a good credit rating in the UK and asked if this could be used to get me a credit card with a limit above the $4,000 they gave me (on a salary of $120k!) over here...

Re: Is Australia tempting you?

Having been here a year myself I think the major difference is that of a can-do society in Oz and a make-do society in NZ.

Re: North Vs The South....moved to main forum

My personal preference would be the north part of the South Island. Nelson and Blenheim have a distinct charm that is lacking elsewhere in NZ.

Re: baggage allowance

Re: Who likes this 'dump'..NZ that is?

Before people get the wrong idea - Dump in big block capitals in the previous posts was NOT INTENTIONAL. It seems to have been caused by me editing out some of the previous quote.
