4/2/2010 12:10 AM Well.  Ha.  It has been a very fun past few days, but there have still been a few timing issues that have stuck with us.  I’ll recap chronologically, from when I left off on Tuesday, 3/30... We spent the rest of the day on the streets ... Read more >

3/30/2010 2:11 PM Wow … holy crap this has been a process getting all of our trip booked and figured out.  We’ve done some sightseeing stuff in Melb/Sydney, but it seems like all of our time in Oz has been spent at Peterpans Adventure Travel (at least ... Read more >

3/28/2010 10:00 AM Wow – time is just flying by here in Oz.  Our first two days (yesterday and the day before, not including the night we arrived) were jam packed with stuff, and last night we spent planning out the rest of our time here.  It was a bit ... Read more >

3/23/2010 2:43 PM I’m getting quite lazy at making these journal updates now --- it’s been three and a half days since the last one --- but I think that’s mainly because not a whole lot has happened in the past few days. On the 20th (our first full ... Read more >

3/19/2010 7:08 PM It’s been a few days since I’ve been able to write anything down, mainly because our computer broke.  Lame!  Not quite sure what happened, but it worked fine the morning of the 17th, and then by nighttime, the screen was cracked.  Luckily, ... Read more >

3/17/2010 8:22 AM Abel Tasman was well worth the effort to get there.  We got up at 5:15am, and were out of Picton by 5:40.  We asked about a dozen people how long it would take.  Most responses ranged from 2:30 to 3:30, but the retard feminist hippie ... Read more >

3/15/2010 10:00 PM We had an early morning this morning to catch our 8:35am ferry to the south island.  It wasn’t that bad, a little bit of rushing (and just a couple alarm snoozes), but we made it work.  The ferry was great.  You’d think that going ... Read more >

3/12/2010 10:01 PM We got up this morning around 8:45.  Our goal was to get a good run in before the wine tour we had planned.  We were planning on doing this run at Ocean Beach (supposedly a really pretty beach in the area), but it was too far away, ... Read more >
