Thursday, March 26, 2015. Nah just looking to maximize my weekend. Last night while attending a black tie awards ceremony with BCS, I received a text from my mountain biking friend Rick.

A Backpack and a Fistful of Cash: February 2015
http://abackpackandafistfulofcash.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Beth and I don't like living in Auckland. Yes, we have been having fun living here, but its just another big city to us. We left Minneapolis for a reason.We enjoyed our time in Tauranga and Thames. We are looking to relocate to a place that allows us to really enjoy the country everyday with little fanfare. 2 weeks ago, I was offered roles in both Christchurch and Tauranga, but I turned them down. Why? We are looking at Taupo as our destination. Why Taupo? Links to this post.

We booked a bus out to the Andes mountains on Saturday and I hear they make some awesome mints out there as well. We head to Brazil on Sunday and plan on doing some diving and having a go at finding out if Fogo is the real deal. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). If you must go.

Sunday, August 30, 2015. Te Aroha Mountain Summit: Day hike. Beth, Paula, Mike, Peter, and I. It has officially started. What? After leaving the lookout, the conversation dried up as the heart rates increased along with the steepness. This was only a temporary set back as we stopped for snacks and the trail leveled out a bit. At the trig station. Bearded Pete in surprise. Is this thing on? Links to this post. Wednesday, August 19, 2015. It was one of my desired meals in the US. We then picked up Sara...
