I’ve had yet more Great Sushi, Thai, and Pizza in […]

I’m back in the US of A and I have to say my first several hours on the mainland were a fun and interesting shock to have had, but first let me clean up Hawaii with a few facts. 
A. It’s a warm place even during the rainy season, but you probably knew that.  I […]

Oh, but before I say more, Melbourne was fun.  Got to visit with Jack (my dorm mate at CSU) and wander around Melbourne with Ben the Hitchhiker (an ice friend), Ruthiebaby88 (American traveling nurse) and Chris (English significant other of Ruth).  Even got into the Aquarium for free (YAY!).  Indeed we (Jack and I) hung around his […]

Seat of the pants traveling can mean that sometimes you are in the right place and the right time and still miss everything. For those of you who didn’t know, Mari Gras was celebrated in Sydney 2 nights ago, but I totally missed it. Not only did I miss the actual parade, but […]

Here’s a waterfall from Arthur’s Pass. This is a great place, quite little canyon that is totally lifeless but houses this brilliant river 200 foot waterfall.
What’s cool about this waterfall to me was how it was creating it’s own wind up near the base of the falls. I’ve got great video of the […]
