TREKKING THROUGH THE TROPICS...

Wow--it's been a long time since I've updated this blog. With that in mind I've decided it would be more feasible to just post the really interesting, "exotic" trips here on my travel blog, and leave the more mundane, day-to-day updates to the wonderful world of Facebook...

So, without further ado, here are the pics from our trip to Costa Rica this summer: a beautiful country in Central America full of impressive landscapes, amazing wildlife and friendly people...

HOME SWEET HOME

Well nothing better to start off the new year than a new home--yes, we are officially homeowners! ...or more accurately, "people indebted to the bank for the next quarter of a century" ;)

So our holidays were spent signing documents and moving in, peppered by myriad trips to that furniture fantasia known as IKEA, but in the end all is well, and we're quite happy (except for an annoying episode with our heating, or the lack thereof, but that's a long story...)

Check out my online photo albums (Picasa) on the right side of this page to take a virtual tour of our new flat...of course the best way is to come out here and visit us in person--there's a guest room waiting! :)
