Yes, but New Zealand is some 1400 miles further east, so the optimum
stopover point is different. In particular, the route via the US is
shorter for New Zealand, whereas an Asian stopover is shorter for Oz.
But the US visa for transit requirement tips the balance towards HK
rather than LA.
Anyone who spends 24 hours in an aircraft to go to a land full of sheep
and hills must be ****ing insane.
I'm sure there are New Zealanders with family in Wales. Why shouldn't
they want to visit them?
They should split the difference and meet in the Falklands. A home away
from homes!
ITYM Patagonia, the Falkland islanders are mainly Scots descent.
