November 5, 2010 – Kelowna, Canada So, we’d love to catch you up on our last 4 months!! First a couple of observations; Canada is a great place to live but we forgot how big it was! We have amazing friends and families and lastly, we are very happy to report that we’re not living in …
July 15, 2010 – Victoria, Canada In the beauty of a cyber world and something to do with time-space continuity…we’re actually home in Canada as you read this. Twelve months since we moved out of our house and 11 months on the road…reality now nipping at our heels. We attempted to make this shorter than …
May 21, 2010 – Auckland When we began our journey, New Zealand was high on our list of places to visit. And, as we meandered our way through other countries, other travellers would ooh and aah when we mentioned that New Zealand was part of our itinerary. Carole, from England even remarked in jest, how …
March 30, 2010 – Perth, Australia So we arrived in Ozzie land and you know…we were pretty excited to be back into the “westernized” world. As much as we had enjoyed Asia & South East Asia, a great deal of what we were seeing was becoming far too common. After 3 months, the tuk-tuk touts, …
March 16, 2010 – Siem Reap, Cambodia Our last night in Vietnam was spent in Chau Doc.. a rundown, dirty little border town. Like us, most people are here overnight to catch the boat to Cambodia so hotels are dingy, restaurants mediocre and the staff quick to move you on. We were back on a …

February 6, 2010 – Delhi, India We squished into a taxi and left the Blue Horizon for the Kathmandu airport to catch our flight to Mumbai. The plane was delayed for 3 hours due to fog so we ended up missing our connecting flight to Goa…another mad rush through an airport only to miss it …
January 15, 2010 – Kathmandu, Nepal A funny thing happened on the way to India. As usual, we were excited and anxious to move on to our next destination. Sadly, Gonkie, our beloved pink mascot, was apprehended at the Johannesburg airport by local police! In truth, he was a little worse for wear, his head …
January 3, 2010 Oh, man…you’ll have to read this in shifts everyone!! South Africa was beyond spectacular!! So many experiences, but before we tell you about S.A., just one last story from the Ghana we will miss so much.
