Now, for the first time since I came here, we actually have a little bit of cash available to go but it's still a question of timing. No point going for less than a month, to be honest (what with the distance and the people to be caught up with and the unlikelihood of getting over there again in the near future...) but the idea is to go in NZ's summer because when F came over last time it was winter (read: grey, wet, freezing, windy and miserable) and because I was working and writing a thesis, there wasn't much time to see the country itself.
Unfortunately, going there for a month in NZ's summer means taking a month off work here, and I already got a few glares for being away from work for a week and a half into the term, when we went to Sri Lanka at Christmas (despite the fact that, unlike certain other teachers, I bent over backwards, organizing a replacement, getting her up-to-date with all of my classes etc
