HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANALI!

February 20, 2010

Some number of years ago, my beautiful wife found her way into this world, making it a better place and unknowingly would bring me unbridled happiness in my future. Her patience and generosity continue to stand strong, as on her birthday, she has allowed me to book a tramp on the Routeburn Track, in southern New Zealand. 32KM in 3 days, sleeping in cold, and according to the forecast, hiking through strong and cold gales, accompanied by all day rain. Oh what joy nature doth giveth!

Here is a little preview of what Manali looks like on a nice sunny day, recently at Mt Cook, here in New Zealand. For her Birthday, send her wishes of warmth and strength. And if you never see me again, you’ll know why.

Happy Birthday Babe!

    Queenstown reminded us a lot of Breckenridge or Vail in Colorado, a cute little ski town yet bursting with activities all year round. Here, other than skiing and hiking, you can go speed jet boating, bungy jump into a river, sky dive over a lake, canyon swing or para glide off the ski slopes! If [...]
