I was binge-watching the DVDs with my wife, Sarah, when it hit me: Middle-earth does exist, and I don’t need a portal. I can fly there in 23 hours. I turned to Sarah and said, “Shall we move to New Zealand?” One of the many things I love about my wife is that she listens to my madder ideas with a careful seriousness. Six months later we were in Auckland.

This has strong Bilbo Baggins vibes lol.

Visiting is different from immigration, though.

I can visit Saudi Arabia (not that I'm planning to), but if I want to immigrate to it, that's a different story.

Actually, let me look up NZ's immigration laws...

Edit: well shit. Family reunification does sound like a nightmare.
