Hello y'all Hope everything is good with all of you and the weather is wonderful and not raining as it was here. Both Ed and I are loving New Zealand but we should probably work chronologically and take you back to our last evening and full day in Sydney which now seems like a lifetime ago. So we did go to the posh Indian I mentioned in the former blog and it did not dissapoint first of all

There were no official taxi's to be seen however.I got in any old taxi another c

We leave Paris for Prades France today. It has been a wonderful time here. We ate more Italian food than french but that is what happens when you travel with kids or at least our kids. We did have some nice french wine to make up for the lack of french cusine. Jeff and I are depending on Cindy and Russells hospitality to get our fill of french food. I will send pictures and some fun updates

I have to write this entry more for my own memory than anything else. The journey to Koh Chang was something else and I don't want to forget all that we went through to get to this island known to most as a tropical oasis but to us has been something quite different but that is another entry altogetherWe left Pai at 2.30pm on Wednesday afternoon. We had bought a direct ticket to Koh Chang for 1

I really am living her life now. For those who donrsquot know who Irsquom talking about her name is Lhamo Tso. She is 37 and has been through more than we can imagine. Her husband is Dhondup Wangchen somewhat of a hero in Tibet due to the legendary documentary he made documenting the feelings of Tibetans about various things in 2008. As a consequence of this he was imprisoned for 6 years. He

It is actually a warm and sunny day We wore Seth and Vivian out so they rested and played with Rowanquietly and didnrsquot go anywhere. The rest of us went downtown in Anchorage. First we went to the Ulu Factory. An ulu is a woman's knife that is very utilitarian and is now used by the rest of us to cut up food. Outside they were selling reindeer hotdogs so we each tried them. Yum Then we w

So.... I did get slightly sunburned yesterday at the beach. One of those sunburns that doesn't peel and goes away within 23 days so I'm ok with that. What I am NOT ok with is the rooster that is probably 20 yards outside my balcony window. The rooster that must think it is sunrise at 1am 4am 730am and currently right now at 821am. This is not a joke. That thing cockadoodledoos wayyyyyyyy to

Another day of adventure. We decided to drive to Whittier which is a port town. We drove along Turnagain Arm which is an arm of the Cook Inlet which comes out of the Gulf of Alaska. It has some of the highest tides in the country at 28 feet and a tide called a bore tide. The ldquoArmrdquo is quite shallow. At low tide it is mostly a mudflat but beluga whales are said to frequent it. With o

S efter 14 dage uden moderne bekvemmeligheder som aircondition internet og cable tv var det dejligt at kunne tjekke mailen se nyheder og lave popcorn igen. Vi var begge s fyldte ovenp alle de oplevelser vi havde i Yellowstone og Grand Teton at det eneste vi egentligt havde lyst til var bare at trkke stikket ud nogle dage og lave ingenting. Vi indlogerede os p en rigtig dejlig campground

KyleBeef beans rice plantain salad with a soup. Chicken beans rice plantain salad with a soup. Beef beans rice plantain salad with a soup... The monotony of a menu corriente was only one of the reasons why we were looking forward to getting away from the village life and back to the big smoke. Normally I don't like the hustle and bustle of cities but after three weeks of tiny fishing v

One of the exciting things about Alaska is the glaciers. Janetrsquos number one hope was to walk on a glacier during her Alaskan vacation. The Matanuska Glacier that we saw on our way into Anchorage has a walking trail access to the glacier. We piled everybody into the pickup again and stopped to see Uncle Dick on the way out of town. Rowan was too shy to talk but after we got back in the truc

I got into Fiji 3 days ago and I'm leaving for Vanuatu tomorrow morning. So Nadi...it's what I envision Cuba looking like 20 years ago it's pretty rundown. When the car picked me up from the airport all I could think was I hope the hostel isn't in downtown Nadi. I new it was on a beach but Nadi is on the water too. Anyways the hostel Smugglers Cove is on the edge of Nadi and has it's own

Actually the beans went quite well w
