Another excerpt from my down-underings in New Zealand: Being the avid birders that we are, my mum and I decided to take a pilgrimage to Stewart Island, off the southern most tip of the south island of New Zealand, to get our best chance of seeing the rare Kiwi bird in the wild.  Remember, “south” [...]

Bonding can come in many forms.  It can occur whilst enduring discomforts or stresses together.  Or,  through simply enjoying good times. I left off with a kinked neck and folded legs on a long bus ride from Bangkok.  My co-volunteers and I were finally deposited at the port at 4:30 am and were told the [...]

Road trips are always an adventure.  But gather five friends who belly dance together and you get a whole new synergy.  Here we all were, up in Sebastopol, California for a belly dance convention, and we decided to take a side jaunt in our little trusty rental car to the coast.  Several of us were [...]

I’m liking this ritual of a morning kayak through our neighborhood.  This time, we go exploring and venture deep into narrowww canyons… we actually abandon my posh Solstice kayak and tuck it away in a dark watery dead end, to protect its’ girly figure, and proceed to force the plastic boats through progressively narrowing gaps [...]

My days on the lake continue… Our first breakfast on “Playtime” , our homey houseboat, was no less than a delectable green chile souffle with fresh salsa, cilantro and bacon brought to you by the good graces of Gretchen, our talented hostesesesess. My favorite coffee beans, Huehuetenango, were also in attendance. We piled into the [...]

I can’t believe I’m blogging about the weather…but, well, it’s better than politics! It’s funny, looking back on this collection of entries, how much it seems that inclement weather thwarted our plans.  But thwart or no, we were always guided to some other pleasant discoveries…if only that my traveling companion (my beloved Mom) and I [...]
