Does Guam count? If so...meh.

My brother has done NZ...said it was incredible. The South Island especially.

Culturally about 20 years behind.

Wouldn't go near the place personally.

NZ is rubbish.

Did pretty much the whole of NZ. Cracking place visually, but feels very much 'off the map'. Couldn't live there.

Went to Fiji, amazing beaches but not particularly cheap; you could get an almost identical experience for a fraction of the price in Thailand.

Didn't think it was like Thailand. But I didn't go island hopping there, but I did in Fiji. Stayed on about 7 different islands. Thailand has more going for it otherwise

Terrible part of the world. Advise people to stay in Europe or the US

I looked at going on holiday to Bora Bora, then got the prices back. Nope, not this year.

Similar in that you can go to a beach, stay in a wooden hut and sit in a hammock all day.

Been to Vanuatu.
The main town you can do in a morning
bit of sight seeing / Cultural village tour 2/3 days
rest of the time you drink and eat in your hotel complex, as set up for nightlife, more bars and restaurants than you can shake a stick at it ain't

absolutely full of kopites, both footy and the rugby kind.
beautiful scenery though, still have plenty to explore despite having lived here.
