Where have we been?
That's a good question. We decided to take a break from everything for a month and figure out what our future looks like. While there may not have been much resolution on the future, we did need to take a break from everything. Working on set for major TV shows and…
What's there to do...
It seems that the consensus is that there are four main things to do in Star Wars Galaxy's edge. Ride Smuggler's Run, get something to drink at the Cantina, build a droid, and build a lightsaber at Savi's Workshop.
Since Galaxy's Edge opened, Su and I have really only experienced…
We left Hobbiton in the late morning and continued our trip North. There is a lot to see on the Coromandel Peninsula, but we were running out of time. We only had a couple of days left before our flight home. Fortunately, our list of things to see was growing shorter.
Among the things left…
Last year we moved from a 3 bed, 2 bath, 1700 sq. ft. house in the mountains to a 1 bed, 1 bath, 700 sq. ft. apartment in Los Angeles. We had to make some difficult (and not so difficult) decisions about what to keep and what to get rid of. We have now been…
The next part of our tour of the North Island took us to a spot recommended to us by our overnights hosts. Sharon and Pete told us we should stop by a nearby dam before we left Taupo. The dam releases water every couple of hours. It used to have a purpose for the…

One of the main things we learned while in New Zealand is that we liked the rural, mountainous regions. We couldn't wait to get out of the cities (so when we got home we moved to LA... go figure). We left Wellington after visiting one of the Lord of the Rings Filming Locations - Weta…
Our journey to the North Island had finally arrived. It was time to say goodbye to the South Island. It had treated us well. We were up early in Picton and made ourselves ready to make the crossing to Wellington.
The little port town of Picton.
The company that ferries from Picton to Wellington is Interislander.…
Our final few days on the South Island of New Zealand brought a lot of driving. We started our day off in Motueka a little slower. We needed to catch up on some laundry now that we had almost hit the two-week mark. Luckily, Eden's Edge had laundry facilities.
We used eggs donated by…
