That blog post gave us many ideas, and is also how we met blog contributor Kyle, who has now become a friend! Seriously, the Internet is amazing. … [Read more...] about Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach Hotel Review – Meets Expectations
Bed and Breakfast on Hawaii’s Big Island – Gluten Free House Review
You may have read about our yurt stay on the Big Island. Fortunately or unfortunately, we could not book the yurt for our entire stay on the island. This meant we had to find a place for our last three nights. I found and booked the Aloha Room at the Gluten Free House (GFH) on VRBO.com. … [Read more...] about Bed and Breakfast on Hawaii’s Big Island – Gluten Free House Review
Stunning Drone Video of New Zealand Lakes and Mountains
Today is another travel day. I used to get excited to say that, but now I wish I could stay put for just a little longer. But the show must go on! I thought a good post for today would be showing a video I shot with my drone earlier this week in Wanaka, New Zealand.

Episode 6: Becoming a Better Travel Photographer (Part 1)
Welcome to the One Way Podcast for another week. This is our last week of stability before a whirlwind of trips that will lead us to island nations, island continents, the middle east and Europe. It starts with hopping into a camper van to drive New Zealand, and I am not sure how the Internet will be along the way. Probably not good. So I am recording a multi part podcast here … [Read more...] about Episode 6: Becoming a Better Travel Photographer (Part 1)

A Room With A View in New Zealand (Guess the Hotel?)
I am currently holed up in my hotel room in New Zealand working on a webinar that I need to deliver tomorrow. Mrs. Jeffsetter is in town taking care of laundry and other errands, since this will be our first extended stop in a town since we left Hawaii. This is probably one of the most boring days we have had in travel in the past 2 months, but I also find these days … [Read more...] about A Room With A View in New Zealand (Guess the Hotel?)
