Suggest you consider your schedule. You cannot do Hawaii (any Island) and then do the United States. How could you expect to do N or S Island of NZ and then do Australia?</font>
There seems to be some confusion. When I said I had 2 weeks, I meant 2 weeks in New Zealand followed by 1 week in Australia. I think that should give me plenty of time to get a good taste of either the North/South Island and a bit of Australia.
