Bon Voyage JEK & Mrs. JEK

[GramChop]

This takes living large to a new level! Looking good Pops and Mrs. Pops!

 

[amyb]

They sure do get around and try marvelous side options.

 

[tim]

Way cool, looks like the only way to appreciate that majestic scenery.

 

[Rosemary]

Wonderful! Amazing! Thank you for sharing! What beautiful clear light, and happy pictures. Lovely.

 

[Peter NJ]

The Chopper/Dune pic might be the coolest photo ever on this sight.

 

[JEK]

Last stop,may be the most scenic - Queenstown, New Zealand. Snow showers on arrival and then sun. Finally a need for that fleece I carried all over hot Australia!

 

[amyb]

Looks good to me. Enjoy NZ

 

[Petri]

Snow showers in January?! It's supposed to be summer there!

[amyb]

You are so right to take this kind of trip when you are operating with fully charged batteries.

Well done.

Keep having fun,
Amy

 

[Peter NJ]

Then around Feb 7th they should hop on a flight to SBH and cover Carnival! ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.

 

[JEK]

Amy - still feeling like the charge is about 95% after all those legs Peter, Susie had a dream about coming home, escaping the cold and going to SBH for a week

 

[tim]

WOW! Milford Sound is spectacular.

 

[amyb]

Susie, you have chosen a great dream and destination to recharge those batteries of yours. Come on down!! You can plan your next whirlwind tour.

 

[LindaP]

Those photos are so majestic, very cool. Yes, come on down to Carnaval; your feathers must fly !

 

[BBT]

Great trip. We met a couple at dinner from Melbourne who come to Aspen 3 times each ski season and thing nothing of the trip. It's all relative. I was in meetings all week with from all over the world the ones from Australia are so used to flying long distances that they think nothing of it.

 

[Petri]

Any pictures of you fat tyre heli biking? hang gliding? bungy jumping? canyon swinging?


Enjoy the return flights. AirNZ?

 

[tim]

The only thing missing was the cape. Well done, mon ami:up:
