(written on the 9th and 10th from notes taken previously) Of course it would be cloudy and rainy today. 😆 It was nice yesterday. I could have driven down to Milford Sound last night, but I didn't, and now... it's rainy with clouds covering the stunning views. Those were my thoughts this morning when I … Continue reading 2026-03-06 (Friday) — Paradise and… Sandflies 🙃

(written on March 9th from notes taken previously) It seemed like I was here there and everywhere today. 🙃 So. Many. Stops. 😊 Of course, the day started out with my morning News fix, getting the updates on everything going on in Iran. I also spent a bit of time working on journaling stuff. Since … Continue reading 2026-03-05 (Thursday) — Everywhere

(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) Got up super late this morning, an occurrence aided by having parked in a place that turned out to be shady in the morning sun. Bonus. 😁 And theeeeeeen there was the MJ disposal adventure. 🙃 I went over to the toilets that looked like long drops … Continue reading 2026-03-04 (Wednesday) — Reflector Caving?

(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) My first action every morning now is pulling up my phone to see the latest with Iran. 😅 It's dominating my days... listening to video after video after video from all sorts of different people with all sorts of different backgrounds and all sorts of different perspectives … Continue reading 2026-03-03 (Tuesday) — Bridge Over The River Kw… Waiau

(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) Veged out a bit this morning before making the drive back to Porpoise Bay, I think spending most of my time with my eyes glued to my phone, fixated on what's going on in Iran. Crazy times. I don't know if I've mentioned it yet, but I'm... … Continue reading 2026-03-02 (Monday) — A Porpoise Purpose

(written on the 5th and 8th 😕 from notes taken previously) Oh my great golly goodness was it windy last night. 😶 My van was rocking and shaking all night, and I think somewhere around 3:00 in the morning, nervous that my shifter might not be fully in park (I think maybe I didn't position … Continue reading 2026-03-01 (Sunday) — Invercargill Branch

(written on the... 5th 😕 from notes taken previously) Yesterday, the district council people (or whichever government agency they were working for) told me about this free campsite, one of the guys said it was a really beautiful place and that I would love it. He wasn't wrong. 😊 Yes, it was quite crowded (less … Continue reading 2026-02-28 (Saturday) — Niagara Falls!

I really don't want to write an entry right now. Yesterday's kept me up until I think after 3:00 a.m. 😅 Of course, I didn't start the entry until something like 2:00 a.m. 🙃 Then the CamperMate app said that I had to be out by 8:30 in the morning, and though there were no … Continue reading 2026-02-27 (Friday) — Outdated

By the time I woke up for the last time this morning, there were only a few other vehicles in the camping spot. It had been quite crowded when I went to bed, but many left early. Those of us who remained stayed inside our vans, as it was rainy and windy outside. I looked … Continue reading 2026-02-26 (Thursday) — Just… Read The Signs

I did it. It's done. Weeks of effort. Burnout raging at times. So. Many. Days. Dedicated. Taking so. Much. Longer. Than expected. At one point, I think I was more than a month behind, but as of today, the exhausting task has been completed. I'm finally out from underneath the great weight. I'm free. I'm … Continue reading 2026-02-25 (Wednesday) — Uh… What Now? 🙃
