I won't bore you with all the itty-bitty details, but this past year was pretty great travel-wise! January-February: Three-week honeymoon in New Zealand. We book-ended the trip with stops in Hawaii before and after, which nicely split up the travel time from Seattle, and allowed us to visit family. New Zealand is AH-MA-ZING. We drove… Continue reading 2019 Travel Year in Review

Auckland: I could live here
We started and ended our New Zealand trip in Auckland, mainly for convenience's sake since we were flying in and out of Auckland Airport from Oahu, Hawaii. I had big dreams to see as much of the South Island as possible so we didn't spend a whole lot of time in Auckland, which is on… Continue reading Auckland: I could live here
All about New Zealand food, sort of.

So, how do you make time to blog while traveling? Do you just… Continue reading Travel blogging while traveling
A Cali Christmas
First things first: It does not feel like Christmas here because I have a dozen mosquito bites up and down my legs and I can't stop sweating! This Pacific Northwest girl is not used to a hot Christmas. Although, Bryce's family has been telling us that it has "cooled off" this week. (My phone says… Continue reading A Cali Christmas
The canceled flight and the two ships crossing in “the night”
I don't know what happened to all of my time but the week came to an end and I was scrambling at midnight to pack for my Colombia trip. To clarify, I was packing at midnight for a morning flight where we'd be leaving the house at 4 am! Trying to find all my summer… Continue reading The canceled flight and the two ships crossing in “the night”
