Hi all and welcome along to out travel blog. Hopefully you'll find our travel stories and photos interesting as we make our way along our three month world tour. We're Checking In So our trip got off to a good start, apart from a slight malfunction of Hayley's suitcase and a pair of forgotten shoes. We left Perth around 7:30pm on a Friday night and had a pretty good flight to Auckland, apart from them mocking us with stickers on the back of the chairs that looked like TV's, which were there to tell us personal TV's were being installed on these plans over the next few months. After about five and a half hour we touched down in Auckland airport which seemed nice, and managed to find a nice couch for a bit of a ... read more

Before I start today’s journal, let me set the scene for you as to where we are right now. We’re sitting at Starbucks, sitting yummy café latte and enjoying the luxury of the rare air con (or at least we were when we started this entry). Life here is finally a little more chilled and the pace of life finally is matching up to the Hawaiian style!! Today’s blog details our little adventure to Maui, the original capital of Hawaii. Our trip started by waking up at 4:30 am (with Tim working till midnight) to catch our ferry ride in the town harbour! Everything was well organized by the Hawaiians and very efficient. I was simply ecstatic with the ferry ride and I couldn’t wait to board. The ferry was much bigger than we expected to ... read more

Am dritten und leider letzten Tag auf Kauai haben wir ein "Zipline" Abenteuer unternommen. Für alle die sich wundern was das genau ist: Schaut euch einfach die Bilder an! =) War ein Riesenspass und kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!! Uebrigens ist hier auch ein video vom Ziplining! Die Qualität ist allerdings sehr schlecht. Nach unzähligen, stundenlangen Versuchen das Video auf einigermaßen erträgliche Qualität zu bringen habe ich aufgegeben! Sorry!! Die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich das Video auch auf YouTube geladen habe, da ist die Qualität etwas besser. Einfach auf www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT0tRSi9ZaQ gehen und Video anschauen! =) ===================================================================================================================== On the third and unfortunately last day on Kauai we did a "Zipline" Adventure! For everyone who's wondering what that is: Just check out... read more

As the official tester for the devices that Tim is working on, I must've heard "welcome to kailua" over hundred of times. It's the most haunting voice after hearing it for so many times, esp at 2am in the morning :) Good news is that we are now writing to you all on a happier, much more relaxed note! For a solid week Tim's day was filled with work, eat, sleep (if he's lucky, he gets abt 5 hours of beauty nap), maybe on an odd occasion he was allowed a little dip in the crystal blue ocean that we've missed so much. But I am proud to announce that they've met the launch date successfully and now crazy enough to launch Maui too. (another island that's 3 hours ferry ride from Honolulu) Nevertheless we spent ... read more

Here's the latest of our travels.... Nothing really new to report. Work is going good for the both of us. We are done "training" and get to be real employees next week. Weather is still beautiful, but it has been a little cloudy the last few days. Dad and the family are on their way here right now, so I'm excited to see them. They will be here for a few days, and then its off to Samoa! Hope you enjoy. Miss you all, Allison and Ashley... read more
