What started off as a sailing trip in the South Ocean has turned into an exploration of New Zealand in an old beat-up van for this family of three. Antonia, the family scribe, is a great storyteller, sharing their tales with a dry, witty style.

After two weeks of miserable cold weather we are finally back in shorts and t shirts as things return to normal.The cold water it went from 72f down to 49f killed hundreds of thousands of fish even as far south as here in the Keys.We had an uneventful run down the west coast to Marathon and have settled on a mooring for a month. From here we can take side trips to a few nice anchorages and a
OK it is taking some time to get acclimatized to cruising but I am loving every minute of it.

Hi everyoneWe've just finished a 3 day tour of Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island off the coast of northern Vietnam. After a 3 hour bus ride from Hanoi we acquired a guide which meant we could relax for a few days on the planning side and boarded a boat or 'junk' as they refer to them as at Halong City. From here we had a 45 hour boat ride around Halong Bay which had fantastic scenery as thou
I am currently on a few days' break after an intense 90 days at the HODR project in the small village of Sungai Geringging West Sumatra Indonesia and though we have sporadic unreliable internet at the HODR house I haven't been able to watch any TV news from Haiti. Horrifying pictures sad and tragic articles from the net yes but no video. I am now in KL Malaysia relaxing on my guesthouse c

Phnom PenhCambodia one of the few countries in the world where with a fist full of dollars you can blow up a cow with a missile launcher.We knew that over a thousand years ago Cambodia was settled by Indians who had travelled across the sea to live here but leaving our hotel for the first morning we were amazed at how Indian like the people were in appearance. I'd assumed that after a thousan
India is Great...So after our too short stay in Paki we're settling down in India. We think it will be approx for one month as our Myanmar a.k.a. Burma visa will expire the beginning of March. So India wil become a bit of a rush job that's the way things are going apparently. And we should not forget that instead of long stay in India we got Tibet Nepal and Pakistan not a bad deal...So aft
I am surprised and delighted at the numbers of you who have already expressed an interest in making a donation towards whatever it is I can do for the victims of the January 12th Haitian earthquake. I have set up an Pay Pal account in my name Suzi Lee and in two days it should be ready for activation. Some of you have mentioned making a donation and having your work place match that amount. What
Dear Friendsno we did not disappear in Pakistan got kidnapped or was subject of any criminal activities it's an OK country. After our lovely week with Renate in ISB we moved out of the capital to explore some more countryside. Rawalpindi ISB's twin city is the travel hub so we caught our train to Lahore from there.

We have been filtering water every day for our own use and have come to realize that while the filters are amazing and easy to use the gap between education and understanding of the technology would guarantee that these filters would be completely out
Today was yet another extremely random day with no real highlights to point out so this blog is going to be extremely short. Since it's Wednesday the market was going on out front today. There are so many random things there. For instance you can buy flowers at one cart right next to it you can buy a pair of underwear. I assumed that a market meant that local farmers would bring in their prod
I hope this finds everyone doing well and staying safe. The last blast I sent a few days ago Paradise Found.... took me through near the end of my 5 12 months I spent in Eastern Indonesia.

I had to get out of the madness that is Bangkok.
