This is the third Universal Studios park that we have been to. We love our theme parks, and especially love the Harry Potter areas at Universal Studios. Since we only had one day at the park, and we really enjoyed it while in Japan, we decided to get the express pass ticket. The pass was…
Paramount Pictures Studio Tour
One of the things that I really wanted to do while in LA was a studio tour. I love movies and TV, I love the magic and everything behind the scenes. I’m not really a crazy celebrity fan – I’m all about the magic behind the camera and the history throughout the years. I looked…
The Archway in Kearney Nebraska
Our a return trip from Breckenridge, Colorado we went the direct route down Interstate 80 (rather than the scenic route we took out – see Roadtrip through Nebraska Sandhills for details on that trip). We did take our time on the 8 hour journey, stopping near Breckenridge at an outlet mall for some shopping, and…
Cheyenne, Wyoming
During our route through the Nebraska Sandhills to Breckenridge, Colorado we went through Cheyenne, Wyoming. We had a bit of time in the afternoon and the following morning to find things to do. After a bit of research I found the Terry Bison Ranch. Since we’ve had a theme of bison/buffalo over the last few…
Roadtrip through Nebraska Sandhills
The Nebraska Sandhills Scenic Byway stretches 272 miles from Grand Island, Nebraska to Alliance, Nebraska. We decided to head to Breckenridge, Colorado for a long weekend. Rather than taking the generic route across Nebraska on Interstate 80 we decided to take a scenic route through the Sandhills. The route is only a few hours out…
Land Diving on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu
While we were in Vanuatu the land diving was taking place on Pentecost island. The land diving ceremonies only happen for a few weeks a year, so we were fortunate to be in the country while it was happening. We decided to take the tour on our last day of our trip. We took a…
Tanna, Vanuatu
Ben and I were both really excited to visit Tanna. Based on our research this island seemed quite different to the other islands we were visiting this trip. The main attraction is the volcano – Mount Yasur. We decided to stay three nights in Tanna. The first two nights were spent near the volcano and…
Vanuatu Itinerary
During our trip to Vanuatu we wanted to see a few islands and get away from the usual tourist path. During our trip, we visited Espiritu Santo, Aore, Tanna, Pentecost, Epi, and Efate islands. Not bad coverage during our 10-day trip. We started by flying into Port Vila and had about an hour layover until…
Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
We began our time in Vanuatu on the island of Aore. We stayed at Aore Island Resorts. The resort arranged transport for us from the airport in Luganvile. It was a short drive to the boat dock and then a 10 minute boat ride to the island. When we arrived at the resort we were…
Planning a Road Trip
Ben and I like to do a lot of road trips. Whether it be short camping trips in Australia or exploring new countries overseas we enjoy the freedom of having a car to take us where we want to go. When we are planning these road trips I like to visually map out our path…
