Hi
I went to NZ with JY in November 2003, looking at the online itinerary, the only big difference is the HK stopover, on our trip we went straight there with a couple of hours stop at Los Angeles airport.
It's a fantastic trip, but bear in mind it's the only JY holiday I've ever taken so far - not because I didn't like it but I met someone on the holiday and we later married but have recently separated, so I'm back on the JY hols for christmas and then the holy land next year.
Like most touring holidays, there are some long days and early starts, but it's well worth it, even without the added bonus I had!!
