South Island Road Trip

December 19th, 2009 Traveling Court

As some of you already know, I spent the last 2 weeks on a road trip in the South Island. The whole trip, while exhausting, was a total blast and absolutely chalked full of incredible scenery. Here’s a rundown of the trips events: I flew from Auckland into Christchurch on Feb 7th, met up with  Read More »

Slow down and Sun Tan

December 15th, 2009 Esmeralda & Kah-kin

To escape the “hectic” life in Antigua, we went to Guatemala´s most laid-back location: Monterrico. This small beach town is located at the pacific coast quite close to Antigua and El Salvador. People usually come here in the weekends and stay at one of the many hotels at the beach. It seemed like a good  Read More »

Milford Track

December 15th, 2009 Scott & Nancy

It’s been labeled the finest walk in the world – and after completing our five day, 33.5 mile journey, we just might agree. The Milford Track is just one of the many Great Walks here in New Zealand and until now we have only committed to day hikes (no camping for us). We hoped this  Read More »

The drive to Seattle

December 15th, 2009 General Turgidson

This entry is really not about Moses Lake. It is about the drive from Spokane to Seattle. The landforms and sights we saw on the way deserve their own entry, apart from any destination.

D and I decided that we would drive through Switzerland on our way from Milan to Paris. There were good highways in Switzerland and we knew the view would be spectacular.

December 12th, 2009 newideal

Note: oops! some of the Flam photos ended up in the main travel journal (Magical Mystery Tour of 2006) so you can see them there. I need to move those photos, add more photos from Flam and Bergen, and add subtitles. Soon hopefully! As soon as I get some decent internet access. So check back  Read More »

Kedi-vegas

December 11th, 2009 Adro&Sean

With our scooter loaded up again, we rode into the wide green yonder heading for the crater area of Ganung Batur. We knew it wasn’t going to be a long ride so scheduled in a stop at Tirta Empul (Holy Spring Temple), our second temple. It is one of the six most important temples in  Read More »
