febbraio 2006 - febbraio 2007

We have decided to take a year out & backpack through a few countries. We hope to learn how to scuba, especially as some of the locations are once in a lifetime! When travelling we will book a couple of nights at each location and then wing it. Leggi altro

We decided to get out of the daily grind and to explore some of the world. We have key destinations as described below, the rest of our travels are open to change!

During our journey we will be visiting the following places:
Phoenix, Arizona
Fiji
New Zealand
Australia
Thailand

From Thailand we hope to travel onwards through the following countries:

Laos
Cambodia
Vietnam
China

Japan (not enough money !)
Tibet (not enough warm clothing !!)
Possibly Nepal (not enough time !!!)

India

These destinations might change depending on our finances, weather, exhaustion, etc – but we will keep you posted of our progress as we hope to update our site every couple of weeks with more pictures and journal entries (you will get an email when there is an update).

There is nothing like home .. lovely Lodsworth, a view across the fields from Mum and Dads house. Leaving for Arizona and that hot, hot sun.Leggi altro

Lovely Phoenix this time of year ... 75f during the day and great cheap equipment for our travels. Travel on South West airlines which takes about 1.5 hours
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Our visit to AZ consisted of the following daily activities:

Denny’s diner
Shopping – REI, Sports Authority (For travel gear)
Taco Bell
More shopping – Target, Wal-Mart (For cheapo travel gear)
Mexican food
Margheritas

If you can imagine the above on a daily basis with variations between restaurants, shops and alcoholic beverages! However, the itinerary usually always included Denny’s.

Of course we exaggerate, our time spent in Arizona was lovely, staying with my family and even squeezing in a visit to Yuma to visit my Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Tammy and family, as well as John.

My little sister Taylor and I had a lovely time cycling to and form school almost on a daily basis. Keep it up Tays – you’re a really good little bike rider!!

Paul and I went to an Irish pub quiz as well, with my sister Nikki – the Guinness tasted like shite but the Corona’s were lovely, as was the company. Good luck for your future quizzes, hopefully you’ll soon win enough to buy a round or two!

It was great to see Mom and Bruce again as well – thanks for trusting us enough to let us borrow the truck on a daily basis – however Paul did do most of the driving – so you got off lucky!

Had a great time getting together for Sarah's bachelorette party and seeing all the girls again. I think it's safe to say we're growing a bit tame in our old age!

It was great to be home for a bit – a perfect place to start our journey. We love and miss you guys already.Leggi altro

Landed in Nadi from La. Arrived at 5:30 in the morning so did'nt see a thing. Visited the town of Lautoka right after we landed because we could not check in. Small town with not that much to see ... bus station was a blast

Staying at Saweni Beach Hotel. Lovely place right next to a small beach. Very quite and peaceful .....Leggi altro

Today we toured the Mamanuca islands which the travel map cannot display ... fist stop was Denarau to get the boat, the best would have to be Mana, looked like another piece of paradise.
