The deed is done. House sold. Money in the bank. I have a few more items to put away into storage when I go back to Wisconsin, then its full steam ahead.
Imagine A Hotel Mini Bar, Inside a Movie Theater, Inside an Aiport, Inside Disney World
…that describes how expensive it is in Tahiti. I’m at a cafe right now and a CAN of Diet Coke costs $5. I’m staying at a hostel in Papeete which is as far as i can tell the absolute cheapest place to stay on the island, and its still about $50 a night. The only …
Back from the outback
I’m back from my trip to Uluru. We slept under the stars (literally), and froze our asses off. The swing in temperature in the desert is really crazy. It went from -3C (30F) to 21C (70F) in a single day. It is a reoccuring theme with me, but I am not equipped to deal with …

Today I went honest to goodness spelunking. Hard hat with a light on it and everything. Tomorrow I’m off to walk in the rainforest treetops 30 …
I Shall Return…….Or Not

To the Bush!
I spent yesterday doing nothing. I saw Spiderman 3, purchased some random camera gear, got new razor blades, bought a new book to read, and had some sushi. In about three hours I’ll be picking up my campervan which will be my home/vehicle for the next two weeks. My first stop will be Rotorua, which …
