2014 Christmas Letter
Salamat Pagi! Well, what a year we have had! The most exciting part of this year was the follow through with our decision to move to Bali, Indonesia. But I’ll get to that a little later… Because our year started with just Rob and I flying to Lord Howe Island for our 10 year wedding anniversary …
Surreying in Monterey
Everyone slept in, as we are still recovering from a tiring few days travelling. There is a great bike track along the Monterey Bay shoreline which we were keen to check out. We headed to Lover’s Point Park where we had read that you can hire surreys, which are family-sized 4 seater pedal cars. Unfortunately …
To the Seaside
After a hectic though a very enjoyable couple of days in San Francisco, we can finally relax and settle in. We have nine nights here in sunny Seaside, just outside of Monterey in California.

Manila in a Haze
We have another amazing trip planned, taking the family on a short stopover in Manila, then California USA for over a week and another week in Vancouver Canada. It was not a great start to the holiday. We knew we were leaving after midnight and had planned for that, however our flight to Manila was delayed by …
2013 Christmas Letter
Well, another year has come to an end… Thanks 2013 it’s been great. What an amazing, exciting, heartbreaking, and uplifting year it has been. It would be remiss of me to not start by telling you all our big news… we have decided to move overseas and live in the hills of Bali, Ubud, Indonesia for a …
