And That’s We Did Yesterday…

Heard Today

Below see transcript of actual conversation during our hike around Lake Tekapo:
Me:  Diesel, do you see my VPL?
Diesel:  What’s that?
Me:  Visible PantyLine (I clarified, wearing my leggings). Ya know, a term coined by the famed William Sledd, YouTube fashion guru extraordinaire.

Diesel:  Hmm, let me see.  Turn around.
(inspecting)
Diesel:  Well, not really, but if you lift up [...]

From Wine Country to Country

This might be a bit confusing because I’m going backwards now.Well, going backwards to Australia and then forward in time. I realize we didn’t post that much about what we were doing then other than that we picked some grapes..Here is an attempt to catch you up. I will add pictures as I can but [...]

The New Gapers

We’ve been here in NZ for like 3 days so far but all we can say is “WOW”
NZ is just freaking beautiful. Around every turn seems to be another gorgeous landscape. We must have pulled over 10 times today to take pictures.

No Wonder!

Two Weeks in Australia

18 days, ,2,200  miles, 8 cities, one camper van.
Timothy and Kelly, you are the official winners of this year’s “Amazing Race!”
I wish.  Instead, this was our whirlwind trip to Australia.
Looking back, the whole idea of spending so much time in the camper should have been nixed from the beginning.  The constant driving took a toll [...]

Working at the Winery

We are finally the masters of our destinies! After spending a few days in Sydney with Tim’s friends Rachel and Terry and then heading to Brisbane, where I was reunited with my Ozzy friend Tanya, whom I met 10 years ago in Germany (!), we got our camper van and started heading west into [...]
