>> P.S. Avoid Wellington if possible, it's an earthquake mega-disaster waiting to happen. > What, just like California? I tend to think like the parent, so am curious where our imaginations diverge. Basically, I'd worry about a violent enough earthquake that lots of people/supplies immediately need to be moved in/out, but their movement is impeded by the geography. It seems likely that the two roads out of town would be impassible (isn't one on land that lifted out of the water in a major quake?), and the airport and waterfront are mostly on reclaimed land so will likely need substantial work before boats/planes can operate. It's a lovely city though - second best in NZ to Dunedin! Wellington is hosting KiwiCon later this week too: https://www.kiwicon.org/ https://www.kiwicon.org/
