Where (the F) is Dara?

A few years ago, a certain TV weatherman whose daughter was a fan of Nickelodeon's "Dora The Explorer" revved up his New York accent and nicknamed me Dara The Explara'. I don't think he knew the half of my obsession with exploring the globe. As I set off to do just that, I hereby honor your pleas and vow to spare your email inboxes the horror of the mass update at every step. Instead, you can check here at will to track me and my little backpack as we venture around the world. Keep in touch!

Kayaking! (Te Anau, NZ)


Today I sea kayaked on Milford Sound, which is actually not a sound at all, but a fjord. It was spectacular. The trip was led by a nice Kiwi girl my age and my paddling partner was a 16 year old Australian boy who just competed at Worlds for sprint kayaking. I'm sure he was thrilled to be stuck with the expert paddler that is yours truly, but he didn't show it. Tonight I'm staying in Te Anau which is a cute lakefront tourist town. Tomorrow it is on to Queenstown - the home of the invention of bungy jumping (don't panic yet, I haven't decided).
The only other thing I feel the need to share at the moment is that for the record, men wear shants in New Zealand. Even straight ones.

Sounds like you're have the adventure of a lifetime! Suite 219 misses you terribly. We put a photo of you on our mini-fridge. Now everytime we get out lunch or a diet coke, we can think of you.

We also think of you when Steph yells about something.

Love,
Suite 219
