Map Update

This is a very quick summary of our trip so far as it appears on the map. The features that correlate to this charted course will appear the next time we have the internet. Enjoy and Happy Obama Day!

Police Cars Here Are Silly

Trendsetters

Apparently Brangalina is copying us, just as they did when they accumulated/birthed six children.

Here is a tiny look at a moment of our trip in the North Island. 90 mile beach is a strip of beach that vehicles are allowed to drive on during low tide. Most of the drive we were serenaded by John Lennon and David Bowie. It was great.

Our First Week

Happy New Year. We have nearly finished up our first week here in New Zealand. It's been absolutely wonderful. Joanne organized several days at Flaxmill Bay on the Coromandle Peninsula. This is where we stayed for New Years two years ago and it was great meeting up with all our Kiwi friends again. Isaac, the startlingly like-minded 13 year old, stars in our film and gives an informative perspective on the land, people and creatures of New Zealand. We did quite a few things while at Flaxmill, most of which are discussed in the video. Yesterday we took off to Northland (Travis and I driving around in our hot new Toyota Carib '97) to stay with Jo's brother, Neil and tonight we'll stay with her other brother Colin. It is incredibly beautiful in this subtropical area. Will extend further communications soon.
