An Australian Herb Garden and Aussie Potato Salad
by Krista | Feb 1, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
It's a lovely thing to open up a garage door and be scared silly by a horde of dear friends yelling SURPRISE at the tops of their lungs. That's just what happened to me my first day in Australia, and I loved it. 🙂 Before I could even catch my breath, I was enveloped...
Home Sweet Home and Beautiful Fiji
by Krista | Jan 31, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
Good morning, luvs! I am finally home in my little apartment again after nearly 6 weeks of travel. Phew! It has been a beautiful adventure and I'm so grateful for every person I met and experience I had, but golly, am I ever tired. 🙂 I am back in the cold north,...
Beautiful Rural Australia and Saying Good-bye
by Krista | Jan 25, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
Good morning, dear ones. It's my last day in Australia and I'm feeling very sad about leaving my dear folks and this beautiful country. I have never visited a place where I felt so thoroughly loved, accepted, and welcomed as Australia. I'm going to miss it terribly....
Australia’s Gorgeous Gold Coast
by Krista | Jan 19, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
I have dreamed for many years of visiting the beaches of Australia, and yesterday I got my chance. About a 2-hour drive from my home base in Allora, Queensland, the Gold Coast is a combination of exquisite white sand beaches, warm turquoise water and more skyscrapers...
Exploring an Aussie Goat Farm
by Krista | Jan 18, 2011 | Compatriot Wednesday
With all the flooding and constant rain in Australia, my first several days here were spent stranded at my friends beautiful property near Allora. It's a gorgeous spot to be stuck, with stunning views of wildflower-filled fields and gum trees. Although being stranded...
Tropical Beauties of Fiji
by Krista | Jan 13, 2011 | Fabulous Friday
Some of my favorite things about Fiji are the incredible flowers: hibiscus, bougainvillea, and all manner of beauties I don't even know the names of. In between downpours I wandered through the Sonaisali Island Resort, scarcely meeting a soul on my sojourns since most...
Flooded Australia
by Krista | Jan 12, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
Mornin' luvs! I promise I WILL get back to telling you about Fiji soon, but I just had to share these photos from yesterday. My friends and I heard the bridges to town might be opening, so we piled into cars and headed out, hoping to get to the grocery store for milk,...
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring in Australia
by Krista | Jan 11, 2011 | Compatriot Wednesday
Good morning, luvs! Much to my delight I awoke to SUNSHINE streaming in my window!! It is gone now and black storm clouds are billowing ever closer, but I had it for a few minutes and loved it. 🙂 Things are rather dire in much of Queensland right now with massive...
A Rainy Beach Ramble in Fiji
by Krista | Jan 11, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
Good morning, luvs! I'm writing to you from sopping wet Australia. I don't think I've ever seen so much rain in my life - and I live in Washington! In a few minutes I'm going to go hiking in spite of the wet and hope to get some pictures for you. :-)...
