Things to Smile About

Tying up loose ends before my trip includes letting you know what things look like around here.

Queenstown and Wine

And suddenly, our time in New Zealand was over. It’s hard to comprehend how many adventures we had in only two weeks.

This is a super movie nerd post, that you might want to skip on past if you are not all that interested in Lord of the Rings movies.

It was a double-bungy day! And no, I did not jump. Are you kidding me?

Ian Hayman, the quirky farmer, led us through our next adventure on the shores of Lake Pukaki.

I am recycling an old post because I woke thinking about the survivors of the Altadena fire this morning.

We saw film locations in this area, but this post is only about sights during our travels.

Our journey south along the Kaikoura coast brought us face to face with baby seals.

All three of us had fun trying to find a trail, then walking the loop, before making our way back to the hotel.

No Lord of the Rings movie tour would be complete without visiting the maker of the One Ring.
