Every. Single. Day.

Big time nightmares. With this one. #murderhouse

Have you visited #Pompeii? This is one of those sites you are drawn to, fascinated by the lives of those who lived there so long ago and what survived the devastating eruption of Mt Vesuvius that destroyed the ancient city. makethemalltripsofalifetime.com/post/visiting-…

Nestled in the scenic Cardrona Valley of New Zealand’s South Island, the Cardrona Bra Fence is a unique testament to quirky human behaviour. themiddleagewanderer.com/cardrona-bra-f…

Come on.

It has been a stressful & incredibly busy year, thus far, but very soon we will be off on our next #tripofalifetime ✈️ Any guesses to our next destination/s? 3 places are on the itinerary....clues in the photos.

Aloha from Hawaii. 🌺 After a long day of plane hopping back in time, we arrived on the island of Oahu. Welcomed this morning by palm trees and tropical birds. Let's see how this day unfolds. #Hawaii #Oahu #tripsofalifetime

A #monkseal decided to visit our beach near Kaimana Beach Hotel today. Some panicked, but most just kept their distance and let him go about his business. He swam a few laps then left, it was amazing. #Hawaii #oahu

Day one in #Hawaii was a lot of walking, with lots of food, beach, sun, trees, drinks and cats. Oh and a monk seal for good measure.

Day two in #Hawaii began with an amazing helicopter ride around the island of #Oahu. A much smaller helicopter than we envisioned, but doors off like we planned. It was a beautiful and smooth ride. After some sun, and food, we walked around #Waikiki (alot).

Day three in #Hawaii & we woke up before the sun, to get to Diamondhead National Park, to hike to the top of the volcano. With breaks in between, it took 1hr to climb the trail, but it was worth it to see the pill box bunkers and the view with the golden sunrise.

Spending some quality time at the beach near Kaimana Beach Hotel on #Oahu, #Hawaii 🌺

Day four in #Hawaii, our last before we move onto #Fiji. We took a trolly tour up the coast, went for a walk along the beach, and visited the Waikiki Acqarium, then ended the day with a sunset dinner at Hau Tree Restaurant. Yum. Goodbye Oahu (for now)

First day in #Fiji 🌺 on beautiful #BarefootManta Island.

Day two in Fiji 🌺 we woke up early to watch the sunrise on the beach, did multiple snorkel trips, saw a reef shark, sting ray, all kinds of fish & the healthiest coral we've ever seen. We found some bug friends in our room and ended with dinner al fresco. Bula!

Day 3 in Fiji, after a quick breakfast, we snorkelled with Manta Rays, It was fantastic. Later, we went for another snorkel, gorgeous corals & many fish. Followed by a hike to a high lookout point, where we saw walking fish. #Fiji #barefootmanta

Day 4 in Fiji 🌺 we awoke early again to see the sunrise & again after breakfast we heard the Manta drum. Such beautiful creatures! After lunch we snorkelled with some of the most beautiful coral we had ever seen. Later we dedicated a small tree to my late dad (the 9th to date).

Day 5 in Fiji 🌺 Our last day at Barefoot Manta, we tried to do coral planting but went swimming with Manta Rays (again) instead. Then the 3hr ferry to Nadi to buy cannibal forks & wooden weapons & settle in at Club Fiji with a Mongolian BBQ for dinner. Tomorrow, off to Samoa!

Day 1 & 2 in Samoa 🌺 We left Fiji & hopped on a flight to Samoa, where we headed to Le Vasa Resort. In a fale, we have the best view of the dock & small beach, where the fish jump out of the water. We swam in the cool waters, explored the grounds & had massages on our deck.

Our last day in Hawaii, the last official day of our #tripofalifetime was spent walking around Waikiki, picking up last minute items & soaking up the sun. In the end, we did 3 countries, 6 islands, 9 planes, 9 boats & 1 helicopter. Thanks for coming along for the adventure!
