Our first Travelblog

---

---

Hello All,

This is the first installment of our (what I hope will be regular) travel diary. We will be sending photo's, scintilating accounts of our adventures, heartfelt accounts of love, connection and inspiration . . .or perhaps just updates of how well our supply of baby wipes are holding up in lands sans toilet paper.

As many of you know, we are currently living in Humboldt County (Samoa) CA. We started our trip Nov. 8 and have thus far visited Berkeley, Santa Cruz, Ojai, Phoenix (Arizona), and I am now writing from Rancho Palos Verdes which is south of L.A. This week has been a whirlwind of driving and family visits. Christine and I have been delighted to see so much family and many old friends. I would love to give an account of everyone we have seen, but time . . .

I'll post up some photo's and let them speak.

Thanks to everyone who has shown us such love and support, we are grateful to have you in our lives


If you recieve this blog and don't want it, let us know and we will remove you from the list. If you know of someone who would like to recieve the blog, send them the link.

Love, T and Christine

Hey Terry
We didn't go to irvine although it kind of looks like that on the map. we did in this order: Berkeley, Santa Cruz (for about 3hrs), Ojai, Phoenix, Rancho Palos Verdes (south of LA) then back to Ojai. we'll fly out of LAX tomorrow (Mon) 12:30 pm. Thanks for joining the blog, I feel so freakin' modern! T

wahooo!
Hi Guys! I am sitting at the Portland airport reading your blog. Wild, eh? You are bound for transformation! We are heading East to say a fond sayonara to our families before we return to New Zealand. Safe and blessed travels to you! Dip your toes in the Ganges for me. And, hey--why not add a stop in N.Z. to that handsome map of yours? It would be a blast to see you!, Much love, Lyn

We actually tried for New Zealand . . .
We looked, but it seemed too much for this trip. we hope we can get out there next year. T

Hey Christine and T! This is also my first trip into the land of blogging, so I hope I am doing this right. I am very envious of your adventure! I've been all over Southeast Asia but mostly under unpleasant experiences. I would definitely LOVE the trip that Lyn is taking to NZ. Lifetime dream for me. Don't know if you'll see any waves or not but think of me if you do. Just passed the five week mark on the broken neck. I'm ready to get back in the water. You two have a good time. I don't know how it could be bad. :) Zane
