The west coast and glaciers are on our list of things to see. We are pretty much against having an itinery, with the exception of the hut to hut hiking, which required a reservation. We are flying into Christchurch and heading south, doing the Routeburn trek, and hitting the fjords. Gonna head up the west coast, after that, but our plans get pretty vague from there. I'll check out Abel Tasman Park online, I wasn't planning on going that far north, but there's no particular reason I couldn't. No interest in wine or wine country, we are more brewery inclined.
