I have always been in awe of people who can speak multiple languages. Part of me knows it’s not that difficult – just learn and practice and continue to learn and practice. The other part of me – the part that wins out – knows that it’s rather difficult to find others to practice said […]
Better Together
Gross right? I know. But I’m kind of on cloud 9 now that the dynamic duo is back together and ready to take on a new continent – South America. Currently we are in Miami; Adam is out golfing with his aunt and uncle and I am sitting on a lovely patio contemplating how much […]
Whirlwind
Adam and I made a sort of pact a long time ago – that we would try to take a trip somewhere once per year. This pact has taken us to some incredible places, our 2011 trip, for instance, was Germany, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium and revisiting Paris. And then Australia happened. Which opened […]
New Zealand Outtakes
A full two weeks were spent on New Zealand’s south island and left us with so many memories. We can honestly say, however, that 2 weeks simply aren’t enough here! The beauty, the amount of activities to do, the people and laid back life style…it’s no wonder most of the folks we ran into were […]
Jumping into 2012

The Adventure Capital of the World
Immediately on disembarking from our boat transit from the Doubtful Sound we are heading off to our last stop of the trip: Queenstown. A mere two hours later we are arriving in the busiest “tiny town” I’ve seen. You can walk through all of the streets of Queenstown in just one afternoon. Driving though…well that […]
Aotearoa
After spending our first day and night in Christchurch we set off to drive across the country through as much mountainous terrain as possible to reach our first destination of Franz Josef. This approach lead us to some pretty amazing sights along Arthur’s Pass – a stretch of road that meanders through the Southern Alps […]
Moto GP – Not the Video Game
As many of you can tell, Mandy is the primary voice of our blog and I handle the photos and technology. With her gone the past 2.5 months, I just realized that while I still did a few interesting things I wrote about it very little (aka not at all). Since no time is like […]
