Do you ever have experiences where circus music seems to be the most appropriate soundtrack for that particular moment? It happens to me all the time. (That’s not crazy at all). Particularly when I do something doofishy, doh!-ish or just plain stupid. Lots of times, as it turns out, these moments occur on our travels. […]
Perspective
The many blogs I read more often than not have at least one post relating to the never ending quest to find and maintain a healthy perspective in your life. I, too, believe in the benefits of perspective – it helps keep you sane when you start to fret over how green the grass always […]
Vacation Mode
We are in full-on vacation mode. I’m talking pancakes for breakfast, fro-yo for dessert, forget you have work to do kind of vacation mode. Where did this come from you ask? This little slice of heaven is due to our obligatory 90 day visa requirement; otherwise known as a “save our Visa excursion”. Australia has […]

The Opera House
…and this other place called Sydney. We are back home in Melbourne left with lots of memories and photos of our most recent weekend trip to Sydney. Going through said photos we realized that, without any explanation, people might think that we just sat around for 4 days staring at the Opera House and Harbour […]
