     Interesting facts on pipe bands - this will be why the Scots don't win the world pipe band contest! Nice updates since I last viewed here!!

     I knew when we began planning a trip to NZ your pages would be the first I would look at. They are great Nancy, a lot of "food for thought" here ;-) Paul really wants to go to Queenstown & go we shall in 2008

     This is the first time I have seen a sheep shearing demonstration under "nightlife". But why not? Especially since you had a starlight cruise back to Queenstown afterwards. Sounds like an idyllic vacation spot!
