A Room With A View in New Zealand (Guess the Hotel?)
I am currently holed up in my hotel room in New Zealand working on a webinar that I need to deliver tomorrow.

A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand
Today is a travel day, so I am going to make the post entirely visual. Here are a few photos taken over the weekend on Waiheke Island in New Zealand.

Things to do on the Big Island of Hawaii
Aloha! Before I start out on this entry on the Big Island, I'm going to make a personal disclaimer. The Big Island is called the Big Island for a reason... It's HUGE! It is larger than all of the other main Hawaiian Island combined!
