Jaci here, filling in for that world traveler Angie. Today is Angie’s birthday. And she’s currently flying home from her international travels, no doubt somewhere over an ocean. I can’t think of anything that sucks more than spending your birthday on an airplane, away from those you love. She’ll be back here sometime this week, [...]

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Australia, and appropriately enough, I ended my trip with a visit to “Oz” tonight by way of Wicked, which is showing here in Melbourne. I loved it. LOVED it. More on that later, when I get home. I’m for bed shortly, and we leave for a long [...]

I have shopped my way across Australia this week. Today, Crissy asked if Josh knows that I’m a “clothes horse”. Bwahahahaha. Um, gee, I don’t know, honey, do you? *snort*

We arrived in Melbourne yesterday, early afternoon. Sadly, the weather is much like Auckland was: cold and rainy. I can’t understand why my iPhone insisted on telling me the weather was going to be in the eighties. Damn Apple. Yesterday we walked around downtown Melbourne and Melbourne Central and did some shopping. Not too much [...]

I meant to do this post before I left town, but ran out of time. But darn it, I’ve come this far, I am NOT going to let a little thing like being out of the country with limited access to the internet stop me from participating in the monthly TBR day. I only hope [...]

Turns out, I did get to see some koalas–up close and personal. I have ten thousand more pictures of all varieties of animals to share when I have more time. It was a great day!

I love you. I wish you were here with me. Nothing is quite as bright when I’m experiencing it without you. I miss you!

We’ve moved on to Brisbane, Australia, where we have more reasonably priced internet so I actually have a chance to blog again and not just try to check emails in 15 minutes. The New Zealand conference was quite nice and the people who attended and organized it were fantastic, but I have to admit to [...]

We made it! We actually made it yesterday, arrived in New Zealand at around 5am local time yesterday after around 24 hours of traveling for me (or maybe more, I lost track of time at one point). The travel was…good and bad. The beginning of my travel day wasn’t so great but definitely improved with [...]
