Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand
For a week we walked into the town of Wanaka taking the same route. Left out of our flat, right down the road to the lake, right onto the path and within 20 minutes we would be in the city. … [Read more...] about Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand
One Last Sunset in Wanaka Before Hitting the Road [Love this Photo]
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).

Stunning Drone Video of New Zealand Lakes and Mountains
Today is another travel day. I used to get excited to say that, but now I wish I could stay put for just a little longer. But the show must go on!

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. Mrs. Jeffsetter is in town taking care of laundry and other errands, since this will be our first extended stop in a town since we left Hawaii. This is probably one of the most boring days we have had in travel in the past 2 months, but I also find these days … [Read more...] about A Room With A View in New Zealand (Guess the Hotel?)
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. It's always amazing how a slightly different angle, or a photo crop can impact the mood of the picture. … [Read more...] about A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand
Booking Unconventionally Awesome Route from Auckland to Sydney?
In July I will be going on my biggest adventure yet. It starts with selling most of our worldly possessions, and putting the rest into a storage unit. From there it’s a road trip up to Seattle for a business trip… Sounds pretty tame, right. … [Read more...] about Booking Unconventionally Awesome Route from Auckland to Sydney?
