Guest Blog: John and Cathy Say Goodbye to New Zealand

All of our other posts concentrated on beautiful places and things. In this, our final post, we would like to pay tribute to the helpful and incredibly kind people of New Zealand.

When I was a little kid growing up at the Jersey Shore, I loved rainy days at the beach. I still do. The crowds magically disappear, and the ocean and sky look moody, mellow, and dramatic. So when Myrtle Beach presented us with a rainy day on our RV trip last week Stephanie and I did what we always do. We packed up our raincoats– and our children– and headed up to the boardwalk for coffee and a stroll. Lucky for us it only rained intermittently, and the boardwalk was quiet and beautiful. As we walked north, the Myrtle Beach... Read More
