Hi guys, Hope your all well and have coped alright with not having any blog updates to break up the monotouness of your days!!??. I know it must have been hard and at times you probably wondered if they'd ever be anymore entries....but fear not because here it is....an entry, wahoo I hear you all scream from the comfort of your desk chairs. Well believe it or not it has been over a year already since 'the wife' and I tied the knot and what an adventure it has been already. There's been tears and laughter and heartbreak too but we're still here and loving every moment of married life. We're still working our little jobs in Queenstown, I'm loving the fact I've got no work stress but Beck is stressing because she doesn't have the ... read more
Hi all, As you may have guessed by th lack of photo's since america, many computers don't let you download load photo's onto this blog!. So I have a cunning plan........click or paste this public link and you should be able to browse some photo's via facebook. Hopefully this'll work, please let me know? Hope your all well guys, not missing us too much!?. Queenstown rocks, my job is a piece of piss, Becky has managed to get a new job as the last one was pants, weather is great, scenery is stunning and life is generally everything I planned and hoped it would be upon leaving my Mother Land! Wahooooo http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=30405&l=99c87&id=576642539... read more
Afternoon one & all, Yes it's that time of the month again, not the type in which us male's get chastised for no reason or can't win in any situation, no, the type in which you pretend that you enjoy our tales of travel, scrapes, drinking & adventure. So sit back relax, and I try and make this as interesting as possible...... Since the last entry we had a week in the Kingdom of Tonga where we tried our best to explore the big island and conquer the little one's. Once again we hired a car but unlike the last 2 countries the roads and landscape alike were less welcoming and far more testing. We drove the west coast on the saturday in order to take in some views and hopefully make the most of some ... read more
......it's goodmorning to all in Tongan, Hi guys, thanks for still have a vested interest in the little going's on the Witherspoon's little epic journey. The latest entry reaches your laptop from the bedroom of our cosy b&b in Nuku'alofa (big smoke), Tonga. Arrived here yesterday from the emerald islses of Samoa, an hours flight but much to our confusion a 24 hour jump forward through the date line (I'm a day closer to 30 in just the space of one hour!). We arrived just in time for Valentines day, a thought that only occured to oursleves during our bumpy dirt road journey to our next destination. Needless to say the formalities of cards and showering of gifts will wait to our 1st wedding anniversary (we'll be earning some money by then). Of out today exploring ... read more

Hi Guys......thanks for still being this interested. Since our last entry we have been on our whale watching tour. What a waste of money that was. It was quite possibly the worst boat trip ever due to the waves being at least 10ft high - no joke! There were so many people being sick that this one dork passed out and the US coast guard and paramedics had to come and meet us. Ayyy, stupid dork meant we missed an hour of the trip while she got saved. Anyway we didn't see any whales, well we saw five blows of water as the whales were on their journey!!! We visited a small town for the day called Carmel where Clint Eastwood the legends used to be the mayor and owns a restaurant where we had lunch. ... read more

So so so sorry it's taken this long (probably not long enough for some of you), but finally we have access to a computer. We're currently in a coastal town called Monterey which is brill, there's sea otters, sea lions and seals everywhere, just splashing round, eating and lazing. Went to a massive aquariam today, suppossed to be the best in the U.S, to be fair it was pretty amazing, they even had there own Great White!. Started in Las Vegas which was too cool for school. The hotels are beyond believe, like mini cities. Beck's fave was the Venetian which is obviously modelled on Venice, absolutley stunning. We did a little gambling in most the major casino's but only on a backpackers budget (1 cent machines!!). Oh and we also bumped into an old friend ... read more
