We will show you the highlights of our trips and photos of places we visited that we had to cross the ocean to get to.
I’ve always loved to travel and entertain. I bought our farm because I would love to have a destination to entertain other people who also like to travel. I currently have one cabin on the farm and it still needs work. I need to buy an excavator so I can make roads on the farm and make it more accessible. The scenery on the farm is some of the most beautiful...
This may seem like an odd title for a travel blog. What you may or may not know is that we own a small farm in Southern Chile. So, actually, I have to travel for quite some time to visit our farm. It really is beautiful there and I got to spend about three weeks there working on our cabin. This was in later October, which makes it middle to late spring there. There...
On the second to the last day in Norway, we drove to the coast. We stayed in the nicest place near the coast. It was an apartment that had been completely remodeled and the lady was very nice. She told us her husband does construction and they redid this place themselves. It was very well done. This was the first time it rained during our trip. We can’t...
The morning after we went to the Viking Village, we drove about 45 minutes to ride a scenic train to the top of a mountain. This is a popular attraction in Norway and is highly rated by most people. The name of the train is Flamsbana on the Flam railway. It’s in a picturesque little town called Flam. It was a nice ride and they stopped at a really nice...
As I mentioned, we got to our cabin for the night at 3:00 in the morning. We were just glad to have a place to crash at that time. I wish we had more time there. When we looked out of the window the next morning, we could see over a beautiful fjord. The cabins were also nice and spacious. However, we planned on driving to Bergen that day so we left soon after. We got...
I’m going to break our trip to Norway into four posts. So keep watching for them. This first one will be about the first couple of days. I won’t go into a lot of detail about all of the exciting breakdowns and issues we had since I covered that in the last post. On our first night, we stayed in Oslo at the Anker Hotel. I got the most sleep on the plane...
We just got back from Norway. It was a great trip and I realized how great it was to be alive and experience God’s creation. I will share photos and our experiences in future blogs. However, today I want to share some of our interesting experiences to show you our human side and maybe to get e few chuckles. This trip has always been Marty’s dream trip. I...
There were a lot of cool things to see and do on Maui. I’ll try to cover a few of them in this blog. First of all, our condo was really nice and the views out of our patio door were amazing! It was located in Kehei and close to the middle of Maui. Another town we visited was Lahaina. It was a neat historic town about half an hour from us. We drove along the...
On our last day in Maui, we drove to the top of Haleakala. This is a large volcano that makes up most of the island. The last eruption was approximately 500 years ago. One of the downloads I got from Shaka guide had this drive on it. We got a lot of information from this as well as learning what stops were coming up. We started by driving through a very pretty forest...
The road to Hana (pronounced Hona according to Marty) was probably my favorite day. It was a very full but beautiful day. We saw waterfalls, sea, mountains beaches and all in low 80-degree weather with a nice breeze. We downloaded a guide on my phone before we went. It was called Shakaguide. I would highly recommend it. It was triggered by GPS, so it told us where to...
