Kaze Morrissey Bungy Jump in New Zealand
For many, this would have to be the ultimate challenge, but not for Kaze Morrissey. Make no mistake, the Nevis Highwire Bungy is not for the nervous – with a wild 134 metres (440 feet) drop, the river seems to rush towards you faster than you’re rushing towards it! Nov 2009.
Why Do You Travel So Much?
Hello from Jenni! It’s been awhile since the website has been updated with Michael’s gorgeous photos and my postings but with good reason! We’ve continued our journey of the last ten months with some shorter versions of this long beautiful exploration of the world, spent lovely time with family, raised some polywogs in the hot tub, and are working vigilantly to edit thorough thousands of photos taken during the last trip which inlcuded Singapore, South Africa, Rwanda, Masai Mara and Serengetti, Mali, Senegal, Marac, Barcelona, Southern Bavaria and the Romantic Road, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Prague.

We added a wonderful Morrissey Family Reunion in the Poconos, a fabulous trip with dear friends to New England and the Maine Coast which inlcuded sailing a Friendship Sloop and taking an exciting glider ride one mile high over Acadia National Park. Still to come are additional photos from Lao, Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal. It’s been quite an exciting and fulfilling year which we are blessed to be able to share with everyone in the comfort of your own home. Read more
A Night At Heathrow Airport
It’s surprising I don’t have more misadventures as a result of the minimal preplanned I do for most of my travels. This finally caught up with me on a recent trip retuning from Scotland. It was the last day of a driving tour I took around Scotland.
This trip was completely unplanned, no route, no reservations. I had a general direction but no schedule. I began the trip in Edinburgh drove north along the eastern coast then took the ferry across to the Orkney Islands. I returned through the highland on the west coast returning though Glen Coe eventually ending up at in Edinburgh. The weather was perfect during the entire trip making for a very pleasant drive with plenty of fantastic photo opportunities.
This part of the trip worked out perfectly. There were usually plenty of places to stay except in some of the smaller villages I stopped. Usually a B&B owner always had a connection with an accommodating neighbor. Where I went wrong was not following the events in Glasgow after the terrorist attack on the airport and thinking through the consequence this would have on flights. Getting to the airport was not enough, delaying my flight a day would have been a lot better.
On the last day, I was passing through Glasgow when three terrorists drove a flaming vehicle into the Glasgow airport terminal. I was listening to reports on the radio as I drove thought the city. It was the first day of this portion of my trip and the first day it rained. The rain made Glasgow less inviting so I slowly passed through the city and headed to Edinburgh where I was to fly back to London in preparation for my trip to Russia.
