This is great news. However I feel one of the bigger things being overlooked is the experience you'd have down there.

I was lucky enough to spend three weeks in New Zealand in the summer of 2006. I have to say that once you start seeing the sights, you want to see more. There is just so much there to see and do. I would hate to see teams spend so much money to go and only compete for a few days and not do much sightseeing.

I still want to go back and experience more of what these two beautiful islands have to offer. You can't possibly go there for a few days, or even a week, and get the whole experience.
