G-Day!!!! It's our second to last stop on this world trip and it's all rushing by us so fast! Where did January go?? We left Ross' Aunt and Uncle's place in the New year and set off for a road trip around the South Island of New Zealand, armed with our little tent and 'shoestring' car. We had been warned by the family that the weather would be cold so we should have been prepared when at night the temperature plummetted and we found ourselves layering up in as m...

I would say busy but 3 weeks laying in hammocks wasn't exactly that... however we had an amazing time in Fiji, after leaving Hawaii (and just in time for the winter rain and wind seemed headed our way) we flew into Nadi and settled ourselves into a 'backpackers' (2 swimming pools, 3 bars etc.) and made our arragements to visit the Yasawa Group Islands ...

Timur and Barbara who own the property are the most laid back bosses we could wish for. They ask for just 15 hour...

Aloha From Hawaii!!!! We have arrived in Paradise :-) After two wonderful weeks relaxing on the beautiful beaches in Mexico we felt thoroughly rested and ready to face our next projects and challenges in Hawaii.
