If you haven’t guessed by now, this blog is about the many adventures and mis-adventures had by us as we travel. We have both come to love the feeling of planning a trip, packing the suitcase, even saying goodbye…to a certain extent. We are always left feeling somewhat different than when we left. We learn […]
Da Nile
No, we aren’t going to Africa (I wish!). And there hasn’t been a new river discovered in our corner of the planet either. Unfortunately, this is all about me…and my denial over the fact that my time here in Australia is coming to an…end. Ugh, there. I said it. Or wrote it. Whatever. The point […]
Pancakes on the Rocks
Originally skeptical of a place that served pancakes/crepes for dinner (mainly Mandy, I of course had no problem) we decided to check it out anyway.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner…
…and brekkie, lunch, midafternoon tea, midnight snacks, and everything in between? My mama. That’s right! The adventure will commence in T minus two weeks. So. very. excited. (!!!)
Takin’ it to the Streets

The ones with words are particularly likely to do this. Even though you’ve heard these sayings before, sometimes the right color palate and placement transforms these so-called […]
…it’s happening
We have now been in Melbourne for 56 days…soon to be two months and…it’s happening. We have moved past the adrenaline fueled, manic state of excitement that comes with the first few days to weeks of being somewhere new. We have left behind the urge to carry our cameras with us wherever we go. We […]
