I live just across the ditch from NZ in Australia. NZ is a beautiful country to visit. Make sure you spend more time on the South Island than on the North Island. The South Island is definitely the more spectacular of the two. The weather should be perfect in October - in the high teens to low 20's (degrees celcius). Make sure you bring some warm clothes though as the nights will still be cool and NZ is famous for its windy weather, especially in Wellington. The Kiwis fancy themselves as the adventure capital of the world and are crazy about their adventure sports - bungy jumping, zorbing, jet boating etc. Are you coming to Aus at all? I flew to LA in January and it was about a 13 hour flight non-stop from Brisbane to LA.
