Sometimes it's the simplicity of food that makes the best dishes. This was a simple Crab Sandwich, no fancy sauces, no marinated meat, just fresh-caught local crab and daily fresh soft bread. Ample crab meat lightly seasoned. Nothing better. #TownsvilleQueensland

Remembering that summer in Australia has its challenges.
This ‘Big Boy’ I found walking across our living room floor a couple of years ago.
One of the biggest Sydney Funnel-Web Spiders captured for anti-venom.
He wasn’t happy with me.

Looking for some fun in Fiji ?
The Sleeping Giant Zipline near Nadi offers an exhilarating experience through the rainforest canopies. Follow it up with a dip in the freshwater stream below to escape the humidity. #Fiji #SleepingGiant #zipline

One of the highlights of our recent China visit was spending time with a local family in Beijing. Warm hospitality and a beautiful family who served us exceptionally fresh local food. While communicating was difficult, smiles are a universal language. #TravelAddictFoodies
