dream travels

So good they named it twice! Somewhere new for the pair of us. As our last days of our mega adventure approached we decided we would pack them and treat ourselves to the max.    our flight was an early arrival into Newark airport. We had an early arrival to our hotel and given a… Continue reading End on a high note, New York, New York!

San Diego, finally a place I had been to and Erich had not. Again only a flying visit lined up but a very exciting one.  It was a later arrival this time, so we quickly left our bags at our hotel and headed out for some dinner. After walking and checking out some of the… Continue reading San Diego delights!

So another destination Erich had already been to and a new one for me. We made the mistake in that we could not really sleep on the flight and then got to our hotel at 7am. As the hotel was fully booked we had to take a quick nap in the lounge before leaving our… Continue reading San Francisco

We had decided to split our Big Island adventure into two halves. After Hilo we were heading over to the Kona side for our last few days.  Again we had a very fun adventurous drive wth sunning views and beautiful stops along the way including the Akaka falls and sacred Waipio valley       We… Continue reading Our last days in Hawaii

 We decided we were going to split our time on Big island and stay on both the East and the West costs. The first half we would fly into Hilo and stay there as our base to explore and not far from The Volcano national park. Hilo is the USA’s wettest city, and despite the… Continue reading Big Island adventure

Maui, the place is one giant picture postcard full of beauty and adventure. This place came highly recommended by so many different people and different reasons. It’s fair to say it’s our favourite so far.     This place was our ultimate treat week and booked ourselves a luxury apartment direct on the beach in Lahaina.… Continue reading Marvellous Maui

We arrived late on the 23rd December in Waikiki. This was a little confusing since we had left Auckland on the 24th December mid day. Still we dropped out things and we straight out to the cocktail bar next door to toast our hello to Hawaii. A couple of Mai Thais and mango mojitos and… Continue reading Waikiki and the worlds longest queue!

It was hard to absorb we were in our last few days in New Zealand. We dropped off the hire car and headed to our final destination of Auckland. It was strange to be in a city again after being surrounded by so much natural beauty but still the sun was shining and could console… Continue reading Auckland spin
