About this blog

Hi There, This travelogue documents our trip from Seattle, Washington, USA to Auckland, New Zealand. We went the long way around, stopping to visit relatives in Oregon, Wisconsin and Connecticut. We headed to Paris in early November, enjoyed Christmas in Germany, and New Years in Greece. Just to add some adventure we spent early January in Egypt. After 27 hours travel time we arrived in Sydney (after our hotel locked up for the night). On January 31, we left our friends home near Melbourne for was to be a short flight to Auckland. We left Melbourne 12 hours late. And there ends our small adventure between our old home in Seattle to our new one in Auckland.
