Hither and Yontravels far and near |
Oct. 6: Travel for work has been practically nonexistent for the last few years. My personal travels have continued apace, however. Left: The New Zealand flag. The big one was a trip to New Zealand back in November through December of 1996. I met the Gregories when they spent a year in Huntsville in 1987, and dated the eldest of the three daughters, Tristan, for most of that year. We've kept in touch by post and e-mail since then. The marriage of Natasha, the youngest of the girls, was excuse enough for a trip down under. Right: The Wright family just outside their place in Suva. Allen, and Julia in back, Angel, Judith and Matthew in the middle. I don't remember the dog's name. Credit: Bryan Walls

Web
links Fiji Mission Report - Background on what the Wrights are doing in Fiji, at least through 1998. I created their site at the Central Church of Christ web site, and it has been idle since I handed over the reins to others. New Zealand Tourist Site - This wasn't one Iooked at before going or anything, but it has some nice pictures. Hostelling International - A lovely, cheap way to travel when available. In a hostel you share accommodations with other travelers, often from all over the world. We stayed in "backpackers" on the South Island in New Zealand, which are basically private versions of the same thing. Sun Club/Continental Plaza, Playacar - Where we stayed in Mexico, thanks to Ron's timeshare. Very nice. Casa Cenote - Casa Cenote is a restaurant on the beach just north of Tulum, and barely across the street from a beautiful cenote, or sinkhole. This was one of the more memorable spots on the whole trip. This site has some great pictures, and a listing of the ruins, several of which we visited. Amazon Books -- Jeremy Zimmerman works at Amazon.com, as did Jennifer till she got her teaching slot. Seattle's Best - It's not, really -- there are dozens of coffee shops better than any of these chain monsters -- but it's better than Starbucks. A week in Seattle could almost get me addicted to coffee. More Headlines - Bryan news on the web |
