We fly to New Zealand on Wednesday! Because we will be moving with just a couple suitcases and our bikes, we will spend the first two days in the country buying a car and getting local cell phone plans. After taking care of the essentials in Christchurch, we will drive to…
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did,” said the Pantene Pro-V model Mark Twain. This year I found my first grey hair that I can only hope will lead to a fraction of his white…
