Greetings from Picton, New Zealand. We are about to take our 21 foot long campervan onto the ferry to Wellington (going from the South Island to the North).

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach Hotel Review – Meets Expectations
Our final stop in Hawaii was Oahu. Several people told the Jeffsetters that we would hate Waikiki when we posed the "where to stay" question on our blog.

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. Actually, all pictures were taken within about 3 minutes of each other from the same vantage point on the island.

Maui Day Trip – the Iao Valley and the Nakalele Blow Hole
