It’s 5am here in Queenstown – as good a time as any to blog. The last 24 hours has been one great experience after another. Starting at 10:30am was the PokerStars Frisbee Golf Tournament – and despite the frighteningly early start to the event my newfound love for the sport ensured I wasn’t going to … Read more →

I’ve had a draft of a post written for a week now, started while in Queenstown, entitled “Some quick food & drink reviews of Queenstown”. So when I came to make this blog entry I had to decide between writing a post about my recent engagement or completing the one on food and drink. This … Read more →

I thought long and hard before creating this post with the title that it has. It’s a big call, especially given how many great places I have travelled to.

Puneet and I flew into Cancun from Vegas (via Denver, an airport we remember distinctly for its “TORNADO SHELTER” signs everywhere; yeah, … Read more →

That’s the best excuse I can come up with for the lack of posts since my last entry. You can throw “traveling a lot” into the big bag of excuses but if anything that should sway me towards more posting and not less. I’m not much of a writer (hence the non-writer prefix) however the … Read more →

Ola senor and senoritas! Buenos ding dong diddly dios! That’s about all the Spanish I picked up while in Madrid, and the latter half is from the Simpsons. All in all though the trip was great. I’ve taken a bunch of photos and will post some of them below, as well as some more specifics, but … Read more →

If someone were to have asked me last week what the definition of torture was I would have given the obvious responses: electroshocks, beatings, waterboarding, etc. Ask me today however and I will include flying from Sydney to Madrid.
