My 4th Disney day of the trip During last October when I was onboard the Disney Magic I went to a talk about the different theme parks that I lady from Disney Imagineering gave.

I am happy to be employed and Irsquom even more happy about the fact that Irsquom doing something that can be called Kiwiana think Canadiana. However picking kiwi fruit is fairly hard work. You throw a harness over you shoulder with a large wire reinforced bag that rests in front of your stomach and start picking your way through the orchard.

I was taking pictures of some of my pins and buttons the other day to show one of my readers and I thought I would show them off on my blog. This is a collection from the last 6 years of pins from Disneyland as I buy one for every trip that we take. There is only one year that I didn't get around to buying one and that was our one Christmas visit that we made in 2007. There are some others on

I had to come back to Taiwan for a little bit to let my body recover. Africa is not an easy place to travel for a solo traveler. It took a toll on my body so I decided to come back home and rest a bit before I head out again on my world journey. I want to dedicate this blog to all the travelers who havenrsquot been to Taiwan. I met many travelers on my journey and none of them have ever been to
