Continuing with our Rainy Day Shopping…

I’m glad that you guys enjoyed seeing the photos from yesterday’s post!  Sometimes, I wonder if people are all that interested in knowing what life is like in Auckland, New Zealand.  Posting pictures of my shopping excursion in the rain seems a little silly, but I know that a big reason why I read other [...]

New Zealand – Adventure Tourism

Check out this National Graphic video clip about “adventure tourism” in New Zealand.  In case you didn’t know, New Zealand is where bungy-jumping was invented, and they have all sorts of crazy, adrenaline filled activities out here.  Considering the fact that I’m scared to death of heights and don’t even like to go down some [...]

Mini Vacation to Waiheke Island

I’ve got my work schedule for the next few weeks, and the great news is that I have a couple of days off during Chris’ university’s mid-semester break.  Soooooo… I decided to plan a mini-vacation!  It’s time we did a bit more exploring in our new country, don’t you think?  I do! So, where are [...]

More Fun in St. Thomas

I never win anything.  Well, I take that back.  I’ve won 1 or 2 giveaways, but when it comes to live drawings, I usually don’t win.  That changed on Monday night at our resort’s poolside raffle.  There was a grand prize, and I won! They called 2 other names before they got to mine, but [...]

12 days…

There are twelve days until we move to New Zealand. Twelve days, people.  As in, less than 2 weeks. Gulp. We’re still basking in the St. Thomas sunshine, but in preparation for this move, I’ve stocked up on some essential travel items: 1. Clothing – comfort is key, combined with the ability to layer.  I [...]

Ah, Boston…

Hello, my lovely readers!  I’m working from 6p – 6:30a in the ER tonight, and then Chris is picking me up to take me directly to the South Bend airport.  I’m flying into Boston to spend some time with my lovely sister-in-law, Becca, and my two fabulous friends Obi and Keisha. I’ll be staying at [...]

Chicago!

First off, let me say that when it comes to taking photographs, I’m terrible.  I either forget to take them, or when I do take them I grow impatient.  I’m excited to sign up for some photography classes once we move to New Zealand.  Hopefully, I’ll learn how to do a much better job than [...]

Chicago in February

Oh, the life of a rambling college professor.  Chris has already been to several conferences since December: New York once, New York again, and now Chicago. Well, he’s not going to have all the fun without me!  I’m planning to tag along to Chicago this time.  It’s one of my favorite cities, and even though [...]
