I regularly visit FB to read what is happening in the lives of my loved ones and every now and then I am taken by what is said… some things are “Ok… don’t get it but ok?” and sometimes there are words of a “Moment in time”, something that just makes sense, something that makes you think, sometimes helps you find an answer or even just makes you go “Absolutely”. Tonight I read a statement by my daughter Dae -Maree in her Facebook post after a jogging session with my grand daughter Aijah, which I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing. “A treat of freshRead More →

Looks like the Kim and Tom have got things sorted in the first days of their Canadian experience, with the necessary details and information established its off for a familiarity recon around the local area they’re staying. With a temperature of about 30 degrees its a big change from the deep south of NZ at this time of the year. Envy these guys and their adventurous demeanor and both Jude and I are probably as excited as they are. Looking forward to keeping up on their adventures with their own posts on this site over the next two years. Their First Pics Of VancouverRead More →

From Jill & Lester – As I’ve said before, Mexico never ceases to surprise. Every day has been a blast. Today for example our plan for the day was to hire a couple of bikes and check out Merida a city of about 800,000. As we drove down to the bike hire outfit we got the feeling something was up as a lot of the center city roads were blocked off. Turned out the main street was closed off and alive with AC DC music at full noise while a pro bike race took place. Made the hiring of bikes with the language problem thatRead More →

From Jill & Lester – Well some of you who received way to many snap chats of ruins today might have guessed that we were mighty impressed with what unfolded before us today. I can tell you Mexico surprises us at every turn. We’ve not been disappointed with one day of it so far. So anyway at the moment we’re in Palanque which is a pretty agreeable town in itself. Earlier this morning we headed out of town to check out some Mayan ruins. On arrival we were approached by an English speaking guide offering his services.We took him on which proved a real bonus.Read More →

Last night was the last night that Tom and Kimberly in the South Island NZ for up to 2 years as they head to Auckland before flying to Canada. While in Auckland they will stay with Stewart Marshall until they fly out on Sunday. Being the last time here for some time to come we went out for an evening meal meeting Sophie and Finn at a Mexican restaurant in Central Christchurch. The food was very very nice and reasonably priced… (nice choice Sophie & Finn). Lots of “Remember when” moments as Tom and Sophie reminisced on the “ole” days gave us all some goodRead More →

Another wet day in the Garden City today and cool at the same time. No worries though there is always something to do in the Garden City and today Tom suggests 10 Pin Bowling. Jude and I have not been 10 Pin Bowling for at least 10 years so it was going to be an interesting session. After a hearty breakfast of porridge and joining Tom with Eggs Benny, it was off in the Jimny to Extreme Entertainment for 10 Pin Bowling. I have to say we had a really great time as Jude came out on top in the first game. The second wasRead More →
