I accidentally deleted our Kaitaia, Cape Rainga, and Poor Knights photos - how lovely to see them again. Loved reading about Bangkok (memories) and Vietnam as well! Keep 'em coming; we need to live vicariously through you.
I thought you were one of my best friends. This blog is cruel and unusual punishment while I am working and trudging thru the worst blizzaes in NJ history. Just kidding. I am jealous though- I sure wish I could be seeing those beautiful sights and enjoying the beach. Miss you a lot.

The worst winter in history Hi Robin & Randy,
It is nice to see that there is nice weather somewhere on earth, because here we are having the most snow ever, in the history of writing down the weather. We had over 2 feet, yes feet since yesterday. It started at 8 PM yesterday and it is still snowing and is not supposed to stop until 10 PM tonight. I am watching AccuWeather on Channel 6 and they just said that over the past 4 winters we had 62" of snow and this winter we have had so far 65.5" and winter is not over for another month and half.
Well, it looks as if you are both seeing the most beautiful scenes in the world and really enjoying yourselves. The pics are great...........stay well!

adding salt on the wound Rob- sounds like a perfect day- great pictures- liked your bathing beauty pose!! given the amount of snow we have here, your pictures give us something to dream of and be jealous of! We are now approaching the fourth day of no school with the rest of the week off. stuck i till yesterday- gotta love our driveway. Snow is reaching almost 30 inches and it is blowing today!! Mark is in NY and may be there for a while! Your parents picked a good time to visit. Take care luv n
Hamster Wheel What fun! I'm enjoying this vicarious vacation with you. Of course, I am envious of the hamster wheel--It looks like fun. I've been sampling New Zealand wine in your honor up here--I haven't had a bad glass yet! Looking forward to the next entry--happy trails!
It looks WONDERFUL! We go kayaking all the time in our canals and see dolphins and manatees. The water there looks so great! Someday, we've got to go. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Love, Lyndi
MMMMM Nice! Not sure if I'll ever be there to work....but definitely have to add it to our "travel plans", Rand....great pics! I'm jealous! Someday hopefully the pics will be on my Nikon D90........
Great memories! Robin,
We loved looking at your photos of the Coromandel Pennisula. We drove there in 2003 on our 34 day trip to NZ. Your photos really capture the beauty of NZ that is indescribable in words! Glad to know Jerermy is there with you now. We sailed on a weekend trip with your parents and Jeremy when Jeremy was 13. And he already was such a help to your Dad in sailing the boat!
Did you ride the little train? The owner of the motel we stayed in recommended it and it was interesting and had great views.
Wish we were there! Maybe someday we will see all that Lydia Lamb has seen....one can only hope, until then, we vist thru pics! Love the stories!
