About this blog

Trip of a lifetime!!... Childhood dreams of seeing Bora Bora with my own eyes... Sitting in the stands at Melbourne Park watching my favorites slug it out from the baseline... First trip to Asia - admittedly "Asia Lite" this time ;-) ... Seeing the unique and amazing wildlife in Oz up close... Experiencing the rugged physical beauty of New Zealand... Snorkeling the incredible lagoons of the South Pacific atolls... 3 months to enjoy all the destinations.... Very grateful and very blessed!!
