New Zealand Road Trip
This is New Zealand.
Sometimes it rains
It rained today. Yesterday too. Big drops that smash when they hit the windshield and the crack of lightening to match.
Getting our Haka on in New Zealand
There's luck and there's timing and landing in New Zealand during the run-up to the finals game for World Cup Rugby meant we had a generous heap of both.
Trailer Park Treasures
We fell in love with New Zealand's holiday parks and the communities within them. For a few days at a time it felt like we were a part of a community in a space we could call our own
Walk with the Elephants
I love Elephants. Back in Thailand after more than 10 years away, here we are staring down the trunks of the magnificent beasts with the kids in tow.

Shoes are for other places - at Joe's they just insert another unnecessary step between toes under sheets and toes in the sand.

They almost didn't do it. The video proves they did.

I wanted to go to mini-golf with my family. Here's what happened.

Giraffes and Zebras and a lion who wants to eat us.
My two sons
Six months after leaving home my sons are closer than ever.
Checkers
A painted cloth board, two dozen bottle caps, a dozen grown men and us on a street in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It's amazing what a shared experience can do.
Leaving Africa
Africa was inspiring and heartwarming and devastating all at once and if you haven't been you need to go.
The Next Six Weeks: India
India is our 18th country in 7 months; we should be jaded by now. Instead we're finding new energy in a destination that promises to be one of the most interesting legs of our trip.
