NEW July 2009 - we are at Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island and took a hike up the mountains to see all the WWII forts and gun emplacements.  On our way we saw 3 koala bears; one was a baby on its daddy's back.  The best part of the trip so far in Australia was diving at Bait Reef.

December 2008 - I am home in Boulder City - very excited about Christmas!  I spent Thanksgiving week at Big Bear and it snowed on Thanksgiving - but not enough to ski.  It snowed about 9 inches here in Boulder City - it was incredible!  We couldn't get up our driveway and going down was like a slide!

October 2008 - the best part of the trip was diving the wreck in Bengga and catching up with kid boats again - I had a lot of fun with Jade again as well as meeting some new kids too!

May 2008 - we are ready to go to Fiji - I can't wait to scuba, snorkel, and scurf again!  I turned 11 and celebrated with my new mates from Belgium.  I have been doing a lot of skateboarding here at the marina in Opua while we get ready to leave...

June 2007 - I had fun traveling around New Zealand in the motor home.  We toured a candy factory, climbed a glacier and rode a train!  Oh, and the results came in from karate - I triple crowned for Nevada State Champion in my division!  Now I get to test for black belt and try for world champ.  It's a lot of hard work but I love it!

January 2007 - New Zealand is cold!

October 2006 - Scuba diving is awesome!  I dove in an underwater cave!

September 2006 - I made a sand castle 20 feet down - with my scuba gear on of course.  I had lots of fun with my friends on Lawur - sleepovers, games, swimming, scurfing....

August 2006 - I went scuba diving to over 40 feet and saw lots of sharks and colorful fish!  I love scuba diving!

April 2006 - Were in the Galapagos now, and we've gone a whole lot of places.  First we went to San Cristobal.  We saw seals & blue footed boobies.  Then we went to Florenea.  There were tons turtles and sea lions!  Next we went to Isla Isabella.  Here we see Mustard Rays and Miniature Penguins.  We just came back from horseback riding.

July 2005  I rode a mountain bike in the Andes Mountains for 20 km....I tried cuy (guinea pig)...Mom & Dad say when in Rome do as the Romans do....no sailing this trip due to a broken engine....I did get one day of body surfing in.... we took a train ride up into the mountains and rode on top of the box cars...Andrew had to lift me up
