The southbound trip went from Oakland to Los Angeles and then to New Zealand.

The northbound trip went from New Zealand to Fiji and then back to Oakland.

In New Zealand, I traveled by camper van around most of the coastline of the North Island

This map to the left has been setup with hot spots (supported on Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser 4.0 or later).   If you move your mouse across the  icons, they will tell you when or where you are in the trip and if you click them, they will take you to the appropriate place in the web page/s.  

Note that on this map, there is only one icon associated with New Zealand.   To see more detail about the New Zealand portion of my trip, click that icon.
