Things To Do When You Turn 28: 1. Quit your job. 2. Take an impromptu samba lesson from your friendly Brazilian workmate. 3. Spontaneously decide to jump off a cliff on the world's highest swing, including a 210-foot free fall and (count 'em) 1000-foot "swing" over a narrow river valley. 4. Drag your petrified husband on said canyon swing. 5. Collapse in overwhelmed relief that you actually s... Read Full Entry

Greetings!! To our readers who followed our trip across Asia and New Zealand in 2009/2010, we're up to our old tricks again! Over the past three years in Colorado, we've arranged our circumstances to be able to spend an extended period of time in southeast Asia - namely, Bangkok, Thailand! This blog will contain our thoughts and experiences from life abroad as true "ex-pats," as well as any incidental traveling we take in the meantime. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some "armchair traveling" with us... Days abroad: "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappoint... full info

wahoooooooooo
can't believe you did the whole thing but am proud of you two - kind of topped off the complete season in queenstown - what a wonderful time it has been! Meeting friends from, literally, everywhere and such a melting pot of everything from sheep to scenery beyond belief to loving winter to snowboarding its been something else - you'll always remember the Remarkables - probably not be able to see photos in the future without tearing up. Thanks for sharing all of this with us pitiful ones left in Florida - you made it all come to life by your blogs and photos - could actually feel like we were there with you. Asia coming up too - I know you will have a great time there too. Canyon Swing was like the icing on the cake - some wonderful memories to keep for a long time to come.

Must. See. Video.
There is a video in existence of this venture and you didn't POST IT??? Oh, must see must see must SEE. We rode the Rip Ride Rockit Rollercoaster in Orlando and little did I know that they videotape your face on the entire ride. Our friends almost peed their pants watching the look of absolute terror on my face over and over and over again. Now I hope I get to experience that watching you two! I don't know how you got the guts to do that, because seriously? I would have chickened out just walking across that bridge. Okay, maybe thrown up first, THEN chickened out. Can't wait to read more about your return trip!

Video Coming Soon!
Hi Sarah, yes we do have the video. However, due to internet data restrictions here in NZ, we can't upload it at the moment. However...once we get to Asia, there is no limit on uploads, so we will post it when we get to Singapore and let everyone know, so you can check it out!! We've taken lots of great videos here but haven't been able to load them...that's all about to change though!!
