We’re still in Australia….and it’s been getting to feel like fall….and we’re ready for warmth in hawaii! We head over there in about 5 days- and we’re quite excited!

Wait a minute- Isn’t it the frog that’s supposed to get kissed and turn into a prince? Instead, a hot girl kisses my man and turns into a mermaid?!!!!! Thanks to each of you that splashed Spencer with birthday love…. It was sooooo fun for him (and me:)) I was VERY impressed with the creativity … Continue reading Birthday Kiss

Good Morning!!! It’s about 7:30 AM and we’re in Bondi Beach, an area in Sydney. “Hmmm… we haven’t heard from the kids or Kim or Jack….Should we call or go knock on the door to see if they’re awake? Nooo….just in case they’re all sleeping.” So, I end up going down to the gym, and … Continue reading Sydney, Australia; The First Gig

We left Byron Bay this morning- and arrived at the first “gig” this afternoon, after a quick flight and an hour drive with our “driver.” The first show will be tomorrow in Wollongong, a couple hours outside of Sydney. So tonight was rehearsals and sound checks. Everyone was a bit nervous, but enthusiasm seemed to … Continue reading ooooh my gosh!

We’re leaving the islands early tomorrow morning, heading further west to the land down under! Our 3 days on the North Shore have been wonderful- seeing old friends and gettin that tan back after 3 chilly weeks in California. The weather over here was stellar- those perfect Hawaiian days that make the surfers, swimmers, sunners, … Continue reading Headed to the Land Down Under

January 5th went above and beyond what we wanted and dreamt about. The days couldn’t have been more beautiful, and the the spirit was relaxed, real, and full of love. I have never been more relaxed in my life, and the nerves were kept at bay. Being that everyone had been together for a week … Continue reading January Rain

From Em — Well, we left Montana and ventured into Idaho….. for camping, floating in tubes down a river, mountain biking, hiking, bocce ball, and yesterday we got a tour of the very place where I was born- Moscow, Idaho. The University of Idaho is here- as well as a restaurant that my dad opened … Continue reading Mikey’s My Dad

Hi Y’all….. hello from Holland Lake, Montana! We’re on about day 10 & 11 of our road trip. One of my mom’s students this past year invited us up to her parent’s summer cabin- so she could hang out with Mrs. Anfinson in “real life.” What an incredible family!! 12, 8 and 6 years old- … Continue reading Mrs. Montana

As I lay in the hammock yesterday afternoon, Spencer was out climbing coconut trees and taking lessons from the “locals”….Upon his return, he came back quite humbled….It took him an hour to get just one coconut. While Spencer hung from the tree, a toothless barracho (drunk) that looked as if he were 80, stumbled over … Continue reading Campesinos

So I almost want to begin by saying that there’s something wrong with these pictures!…… There are ENDLESS coves exactly like this one- with NO ONE in sight! I didn’t go in the water for awhile, thinking that maybe this was like a high tiburon (shark) area…..But no- I guess Tico’s have too many other … Continue reading Looking Forward

We’ve been here for a couple days now- exploring different sides of the lake. What a breathtaking place this is!

And let me tell you that bus ride was … Continue reading Lago de Atitlan, Guatemala

We’re in Antigua, Guatemala right now- It’s sooooo gorgeous!! The little town has a lot of character and charm, with many good cafes and shops!

We made it to la costa de El Salvador, only seeing one other white person along the way. It feels SO great to be back here…..And the Spanish is slowly but surely getting reacquainted with my mouth….But then again, it’s very nice to have someone fluent by my side :). It’s so fun for SPencer … Continue reading Greetings from (WAY) South of the Border

We got into Dominica this morning- On the south side of the island in a place called Rosea. It’s a pretty poor island- the poorest we’ve seen. Just about everyone on the ship except for The Kleins and one Anfinson went on an excursion. So SPencer and I set off to go explore on our … Continue reading Greetings from Dominica!
