It’s starting to feel like this is the longest we’ve stayed in one place. But this slow vacation, island life is what we were planning on. Lincoln was our wake up alarm again, wandering in our room to make himself a sandwich. Teenager hunger has entered the picture. We enjoyed the last of our fresh … More Adventure Day 5: Port Vila, Vanuatu
Linc woke us up around 7am telling us he was so hot. Apparently he’s never worked a thermostat before. We had some fresh rolls and sandwiches in the room before we dragged him out to play some tennis and let Ryder sleep in peace. We got sprinkled on while we were playing but it was … More Adventure Day 4: Port Vila, Vanuatu
We woke up and Ty took a walk on the beach while I got the kids and myself packed up. Then I went out to meet him for a bit. Figured time to take advantage of the hotel on the beach while we still had it. We ordered our last breakfast, banana bread all around. … More Adventure Day 3: Port Vila, Vanuatu
Ty got Lincoln out about 8am to go to the grocery store and get some breakfast supplies. They came back with water, a bag of eggs, butter, some ramen, bread, PB, and ‘Nutella’. Which was great since when we went to breakfast this morning at the hotel we all ordered the carrot cake muffin. It … More Adventure Day 2: Port Vila, Vanuatu
Ty did his usual early morning wake up and went for an explore/run, followed by a walk on the beach. The rest of us slept in and recovered from our adventurous night. Breakfast at the hotel was a bit interesting. You chose one menu item and one drink. I got yogurt and tea. They provided … More Adventure Day: Port Vila, Vanuatu
Our flight from Sydney didn’t leave till 10:30 am which is great but if you need to be there 2 hours early since it’s international that means at the airport by 8:30 and then you need time to eat and do final packing so a 7:00 am wake up starts to become necessary. But breakfast … More Travel Day: Sydney, Australia to Port Vila, Vanuatu
Ty woke us all early so we could have breakfast at the hotel, and get packed up and out the door by 8am. We had to take a light rail, and the city bus with our bags to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary by 9am. We had a booking to go to a Treetop Climb. It … More Travel Day: Gold Coast to Sydney, Australia
It is pouring rain outside today. We had no set plans today but we were hoping to get to the beach. Doesn’t seem like a good beach day though. Breakfast at the hotel and back to the room. The kids got some homework done and I worked on some blog posting. Ty took a nap … More Adventure Day 2: Gold Coast, Australia
Well after Lincoln went to bed at 7:30 it’s not surprise he was up by 5am. Ty and I were up about 5:30 as well. Ty went swimming of course while I blogged and Lincoln did some legos. We finally got Ryder up around 9, teenagers! Breakfast at the hotel was delicious. They have honey … More Adventure Day 1: Gold Coast, Australia
We started our day at a wonderfully reasonable hour of 11am out of Anchorage. Or so we were planning on but when we got to the airport at 9am we found out our flight was delayed till noon. Another good reason to appreciate the Alaska Lounge membership. We tucked ourselves into cozy chairs in the … More Travel Day: Anchorage to Gold Coast, Australia
