So it’s been like a month since I’ve written anything on here, so here’s the low-down on my life recently.
Been to Hawaii.
Visited my cousin Heather in Hawaii.
Been to 5 country islands in the South Pacific.
Been to Australia and New Zealand.
Visited Jael, friend from post college, in Auckland, New Zealand. Twice.
Planning to visit Chris Loh in Melbourne, friend from high school.
Taken over as photo manager of the Volendam.
Been to glow worm caves in Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
Bought snacks in a convenience store from an extremely happy Egyptian who loves speaking to Americans. He gave us free gifts.
Witnessed New Zealand madness during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Learned that my contract will be finishing on January 17. Niamh and I will be flying to London.
Uploaded more photos to my photo gallery.
Well that’s a pretty good list of what’s happened in the last month and a half. Please check out the photo gallery for a few photos that I took. All of the square photos were taken in Fiji and the other 4 were taken in New Zealand.





I love the pictures of the whales, Ian; they’re great. The old sea lions on the buoy or whatever it is, are really crowding to all get on it, aren’t they?
What are you and Niamh going to do in London? Is this a vacation time? You knew, didn’t you, that your dad was hoping to go there to school? Well, have a good time and post lots of pictures. Love, Grammy
I forgot to comment on all the places to which you’ve been; I do have a well-traveled grandson; enjoy it while you’re young, Honey. I love you and we’re praying for you!
I love the last few pictures, especially of the trees and scenery!! So gorgeous. You are getting to be a phenomenal photographer gege.
I really like the clarity and riot of colors on the photos.
Sounds like you have been busy! lol. Glad to hear that you are having some wonderful adventures. Oh and the photos are amazing, as usual!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us stateside people. The glow worm cave sounded like a lot of fun.
