I'm planning a 2 year round-the-world trip for the beginning of 2011 and my first destination has always been New Zealand. I saw this TV ad the other night watching Planet Earth on the discovery channel. It is such an inspiring ad. Now every time I have to make a sacrifice to save money for the trip, I just watch the ad again to remind me of why I'm doing it.

That's an amazing ad. The beginning aerial footage had me looking for a few hobbits.

Paradise Valley looks incredible! It makes me what to jump on a plane tomorrow... or tonight.

Thanks for sharing. Have you heard of the "Where the Hell Is Matt?" videos? His most recent one is inspiring - for travel in general.

Thanks for sharing KevinY. Love it as well.

I'm off to NZealand in March. Last time I was there was '94. Feeling a bit old - but like I can still injoy it.

Happy New Year.
