Flashback Friday takes place on the last Friday of the month. The idea is to give a little more love to a blog post you've published before that maybe didn't get enough attention, or is something you think is still relevant or even a something that you really love and want to share again. Many thanks to Michael d’Agostino for starting Flashback Friday and inspiring me to go back and revisit some of our earlier blog posts. * * * I remember laughing out loud when I wrote this post. Sometimes, I crack myself up. I guess the person that gets your sense of humor the best is usually yourself. I laughed again when I reread it. I also noticed that I referenced being active on Pinterest. It was something I did a lot of for a while, but then it fell by the wayside. I actually started a new account which I might do more with. Anyway, this is a flashback to when we lived in New Zealand and I learned about moas, flightless birds which are now extinct. Or are they?  This post was origi...

We didn't have a car, so we walked everywhere. We lived in city centre (downtown) Auckland, so everything was convenient and we were a hop, skip, and a jump away from the waterfront. When I looked back at this post, I noticed that I only used metric. Hard to believe that once upon a time, I functioned in kilometers, kilograms, and hectares.

In my ongoing efforts to learn Spanish, I'm highlighting a Spanish word each day during April as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. I'll also share the random thoughts that pop into my head when I try to pronounce it. * * * Today's Spanish word is >>anclaje<< (anchorage). And now for some random thoughts: 1 -  These are some pictures of anchorages we dropped the hook at during our time cruising in New Zealand, the Bahamas, and Florida. 2 - I've blatantly recycled these photos from older blog posts. Some of you may remember them if you've been following our blog for a while. 3 - Although, if you do remember them, I'm  impressed. I can't even remember what my middle name is. Oh, wait, I don't have a middle name. That explains it. What's your memory like? Do you remember what your middle name is? What's your favorite word that starts with "A"? Thanks for stopping by our blog - we love it when people come to visit! We...

We normally prefer to anchor, but marinas were relatively inexpensive in New Zealand so we would stay at them occasionally to take care of life and boat chores. When we were at marinas we would run around like crazy trying to get everything done in order to get the biggest bang for our buck. After all, if we just wanted to sit around and relax, we could do that an anchorage. {This post was originally published in February 2014. You can find the original post here .}  *...
