An excuse to go back to the most amazing place on earth

Well, it seems like we haven't heard the last of those lovable little Hobbits. Peter Jackson just announced in an interview that as long as complications between MGM and New Line Cinemas (they both have half-rights to the film) get work out, we may see a film version of The Hobbit as early as 2009. This not only means good action and a great story, but it also means I'll have an excuse to go back to New Zealand. Maybe I'll have connections by then.
