Hello Bev
Thank you for your message. It will be my first trip to NZ, a country I've wanted to visit for many years. My only concern is that it is ONLY three weeks as it's such a long way to travel.
Having been widowed for four years, I've come to accept that if I don't get out there and do the things I've always dreamed of, they're just never going to happen. My biggest fear in life is waking up one day with that "if only" feeling.
If it's of any help in your decision making, just ask yourself, if it doesn't turn out to be a wonderful experience, what will it matter in a year's time? You'll still have gained the experience and will know that you don't want to repeat it - but I suspect that you'll be itching to spread your wings again soon after!
Kind regards
TinaH
