Jamie – 25 December 2011 Merry Christmas everyone (although for most reading this posting it is already late Boxing day). In LA however we still have a few hours of the day itself. Right from the early days of planning … Continue reading →

Bec – 17th December 2011 We’ve hit San Francisco, after a wonderful week in Lake Tahoe, full of adrenalin and high expectations and after only two days, I can already report that the city of San Fran …… hasn’t disappointed and … Continue reading →

Jamie – 8 December 2011 We have had just over a week now in Orlando and it has been a very relaxing week indeed.  The weather has been warm – mid 20’s each day – and we have been reasonably unstructured … Continue reading →

Jamie – 1 December 2011 We flew into Washington a little sad, having had such a great time with family and friends in New York City.  We didn’t realise how much we had missed this part of our lives until we … Continue reading →

Jamie – 29 October 2011 Munich’s not exactly known as a surfing Mecca.  By my reckoning it’s about 450 km to the nearest coast and even then we are not talking surf beach. Nevertheless people do surf here, and it … Continue reading →

Bec – 30 October 2011 Today was the 15th Anniversary of my mum’s death. It’s hard to believe that so many years have passed by since we lost her from our lives…… it still feels like just yesterday I was … Continue reading →

Jamie – 26 October 2011 I like The Sound of Music in a once-a-year kind of way.  Interestingly the Austrian’s themselves are almost unaware of this well known musical, despite it being a major tourist draw card to their country.  In … Continue reading →

Bec – 27 October 2011 Today was the day I had been looking forward to and dreading, all in the very same heart beat. I’ve always felt very strongly about the fact that we as humans travel around the world … Continue reading →
