So... to celebrate 30 years of marriage (and George's completed work project), we took an awesome 10 week vacation to New Zealand, Fiji, and French Polynesia!! I give credit to a teacher I had in Costa Rica who planted the idea for a grand 30th anniversary celebration because we were in good health now but if we waited, well, who knows what the future holds? We decided to take advantage of the length of time to visit some faraway places that we probably wouldn't be able to enjoy on a short trip. How did we choose where to go? One inspiration was our children's trip to New Zealand about 8 years prior. They had such a good time and did so many cool things, we wanted to see it for ourselves. Another of our inspirations was the movie "The Truman Show", where Truman wants to visit Fiji because "It's as far away as you can get without coming back". And our inspiration for French Polynesia? Well, what couple do you know that wouldn't want to visit Tahiti??? Along with the fact that my late Aunt Susan and Uncle Bob had planned a trip but never went, so this was also in honor of them. About one week of the 10 was travel time in the air and visiting family in CA a few days on either end. I kept a journal and my goal here is to share our day to day adventures.
