So after leaving New Zealand, we popped over to Rarotonga, a tiny little island part of the Cook Islands, for a week of beach fun & relaxation. Boy, if I ever thought New Zealand was isolated, Rarotonga took it to a whole other level. Literally, you could drive around the island in less than an [...]

Now that I got the bad news out, I think it’s time to update you on our fun road trip we took around the north island. The trip was an absolute blast & we got to do some pretty fantastic things. Day 1: We took a bus down to Auckland from Kerikeri, checked into our cheapy [...] The past week has been amazing – as you know, Kyle & I rented a camper-van and traveled all through the south of the north island (I’ll write a summary of that in the next few days). And for the most part, hit all the spots we planned on. The trip was unbelievable….there are no [...] So our departure from New Zealand is literally just around the corner. This is our last week at work. Then off we go to Auckland for a mini-holiday! We’ll be renting a camper-van and plan to loop around the southern part of the north island for a couple days. We haven’t made it down there [...] One of my favorite things to do as a kid was hunt around garage sales and thrift shops with my mom. It was always an exciting feeling finding hidden travels in the depths of knick-knacks and “why would anyone buy those” objects. I can still vividly see the sombrero I bought for a dollar (it [...] So. Looks like we’ll be returning to New Jersey about two months earlier than planned….and I have to say I am absolutely excited & ready to be back (for a bit anyway). Why you ask? Well, my family needs me & I need them. I’m not going to get into details just yet, but basically [...] It’s hard to believe that it’s been about 3 weeks and am now FINALLY mentioning my birthday! Yes, April 23rd was my 27th birthday….ooof, where did my twenties go? Honestly, I’m not a big one for big birthday celebrations. Give me a few nice wishes, a couple presents, a good meal, & a night out and [...] Once again I’ve done a disappearing act on my blog. And this time the only reason being that the internet at our home has been god awful slow – pretty much reminiscent of DIAL UP. That’s right – DIAL UP. So painfully slow in fact that some pages wouldn’t even bother to upload because they knew [...] Prior to visiting, our guests have asked, “is there anything you’d like me to bring?” To which I automatically replied, ” hot sauce, sour patch kids, & dunkin donuts!” Those are the three things that I have been longing for from home. Probably the most though is the coffee. As I have mentioned in the [...] Our third round of visitors is Kyle’s family! They’ve been here for almost a week now & hopefully are enjoying what they have seen so far of New Zealand. Personally, I was looking forward to their visit as a chance to get to know them better. And it’s been really great.
