{New Zealand}

While Spain was beautiful and charming, nothing compares to Zealand. It is our ultimate destination. It has everything we want in a vacation: tropical beaches with crystal clear water, rolling green hills filled with sheep, huge alpine mountains and volcanoes, waterfalls and fjords. Plenty of thrill-seeking adventures which we took advantage of: bungee jumping, rock climbing, sledding the luge and kayaking. And the people are ridiculously friendly and nice. To top it off the food was FANTASTIC...a total surprise...and we know food. Their egg's benedict is to-die-for.

We will be back...we are already saving money for a visit to the south island next year...can't wait.

[Spain]

We traveled to Cantabria and Asturias and found it to be completely green and lush everywhere. We were surprised. This is not how we imagined Spain. Beautiful coastline and mountains filled with charming old villages from the thirteenth century. The highlight of the trip was an unforgettable trek to a mountain town called Bulnes where we were blown away by the natural beauty. We ate the best flan of our lives made by scratch with farm fresh eggs from the restaurant owner's chickens. We also spent our share of time in San Sebastian and a small portion of France and took advantage of the bakeries and sidewalk cafes and absolutely fell in love!

{Oregon}

Our trip to Oregon was AMAZING...we want to move there...end of story.
