...rough night for Reubs with it ending up with us watching cartoons at 4 am. I just don't get Pokemon! Complaining now of tooth ache...suspected he was just misreading the pain from his ear and sinuses but the pain medications were not assisting. One good aspect to the start to the day was the travel insurance company emailled us e-tickets for our return home, Qantas on the 15th so only one more night here before we can get home and in particular get the little guy fixed up and comfortable at least in his own surroundings. Only downer, and not a significant one, is that the flight is at 11:30 pm so long day and long night - but it will get us home. If Reubs was 100% the delay would not be an issue but ... read more

...started the day out in Los Angeles after a good nights sleep for the patient. Only woke once for pain meds at 1.30 am and then went straight down again... Up at 7am and decision time... what to do! Travel agent is on New Zealand time, travel insurance is in Singapore (we think) so co-ordinating contact and planning is proving just a little difficult. Big ups to the travel agent, Fiona, she is doing an awesome job to help out. Situation is that the boy still ain;t up to travelling and both the doctor and the travel insurance people are advising against travelling for another couple of days and on top of that he is still in some discomfort. Decision made - we simply cannot travel. Having said that it will be frosty day in hell ... read more


Had an awesome time in Las Vegas over the 4th of July weekend. Went to see the Grand Canyon, took a helicopter tour of the strip. It was amazing! I used a site, vegasonadime.com to book all my fun stuff. I was very surprised by the knowlegde and friendliness of the staff. I want to say thanks to vegasonadime.com and thanks to Las Vegas for bringing my family joy over the weekend!... read more

Ray and Carol McCorkle from the Good Luck Sams in Colorado Springs came for a week's visit. They have a 40 motorhome and could not stay in this park, which has a 35 foot maximum. The park was built for small rigs and tents and has narrow roads and small sites. They stayed in Escondido, which is about 18 miles from here. They discovered San Diego rush hour on one of their return trips. We took them to La Jolla and San Diego. The cove at La Jolla is amazing with it rocks, pelicans and seals. In San Diego, which is about 25 miles south, we had great lunch at Old Towne, a vintage Spanish village with lots to buy and eat. We also drove to the end of Cabrillo Point with its great views of ... read more

Alright, I know it's been quite a while since my last blog but I hope you can all understand. So I have let two whole months pass without a good blog (except for the one my sister wrote in late December) and there is much to tell. For those of you who do not know, Maria's mother entered the hospital yesterday to have a brain tumor removed. I ask for your thoughts an prayers as she begins surgery this week. We are hoping the procedure goes well for her and she can come home quickly and fully recovered. Changing themes, my work is going well and I am really becoming comfortable as an ESL teacher.Right now my days are long, from 7am - 12pm, then 4pm- 830pm, but I have a nice long lunch break at ... read more

We spent the weekend pretty chilled out which was cool. Good to relax a bit. After a sleep in Ben and I drove down across town to one of the more amazing locations in San Diego - Coronado. If you have heard of this place, it is probably because of the Hotel Del Coronado - a very old, very large and very incredible hotel that sits right on the Coronado beach. Ben and I decided to lap up a bit of this glorious beach (I swam and he fell asleep) before checking out the hotel and grabbing some lunch. The water wasn’t bad. The sand was weird...almost like a dust and so in the shallow water it was very kinda dirty. Other than that though, was so good to get in the water. I miss the ... read more


We packed everything up and hit table rock beach. The weather wasn't great but it was nice and quiet so a great opportunity to practice our volleyball! We played for a few hours before hitting the road and heading for San Diego. We stopped on a camp site just outside at a place called Cardiff Beach, the American's are original with naming places!!! The campsite was nice and we bbq'd and drank more beers before hitting the sack for the last night of camping! ... read more

Ok, I'm rolling 2 days into one here as I think it will be better. The first day, we went to San Diego Zoo which was superb. We were lucky as it was mid week and it had been raining in the morning which put off people from going, however, it was busy enough for my liking. We walked in through the entrance and it was split into 3 main sections with loads of footpaths in between, so often, you would go back on yourself to get to another pen. We went straight ahead, drawn mostly by the noise as it was the flamingoes section and they were making a real racket! Obviously something was cracking off in there - the main troup of them were squawking and flapping their wings, but a small group of ... read more
