Flights these days can lose their allure pretty quickly…particularly when you’ve traveled a ton…and after you’ve had three take-off and landing combinations within 12 hours. A scientifically proven method, should you find yourself in this dilemma, to up the ante and make flights fun again: Cross over the Andes. Our flight pattern had consisted of […]
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 […]
*trav-el: To go from one place to another, as on a trip; journey* Mandy and Adam are avid lovers of travel and all things travel related.

One extremely short week after we returned from our New Zealand adventures and I was heading back to the states while Adam started his last few months in Melbourne. On my way I made a side stop in Thailand to meet up with a girlfriend (one of “The Others” who will be known as “A”) […]
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 […]
