Travels to New Zealand

Most travelers put New Zealand on their bucket list, and I'm no different. There's so much to see and do -- from ancient Kauri forests, rugged coastlines and the traditions of the Maori.

Getting to New Zealand is an adventure in itself. My November layovers and the long Air New Zealand flight from Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand and then on to Wellington was just the beginning. 

Once your flight lands, you breath in the breathtaking New Zealand scenery, unique Maori culture and the Kiwi's hospitality, and then you grab your luggage and you're off for an adventure of a life time!

And so continues my Big Island Hawaii adventure. I think the best way to showcase day two is by pictures, so take a look.

First stop is downtown Hilo for kava at the Bayfront Coffee, Kava & Tea. Kava is an age-old herbal drink, beverage of choice for the royal families of the South Pacific. It's said to relieve stress and anxiety, relax muscles and relieve pain. I drank the suggested mix with coconut milk, and it was still bitter.  But I have to admit it did give me a bit of a buzz.

Hello all! Dubai day #2 will have to wait...It was a whirlwind day, then night, then boarding another flight for Bangkok, dropping exhausted into bed, only to have to wake early to catch another flight to Chiang Mai. I've been so freaking busy, haven't stopped since landing in Chiang Mai. early morning, late nights.

Once we landed in Chiang Mai, stopped off at Tamarind Hotel (see my room below) just to drop off our luggage, change our clothes to begin our adventure, really an eco-adventure.
