Looking back on 2016... _ When I stop to think about the year that has been, it seems a little surreal. Our 1-year #motherofallroadtrips in the US & Canada came to an end, we explored Turkey, Alaska, Mexico, Nova Scotia, Japan, Hawaii, Bali, and not to mention over two dozen US states. _ Now we are now back in Australia and taking over the Instagram account for @travelocity. So head over there and follow along to see what New Year’s Eve in Sydney is like. _ This shot was taken in Istanbul, Turkey along the Bosphorus back in February 2016 - the very waterway that divides 2 continents. _ It's hard to believe we fit so much into one year. What was your highlight of 2016? #wanderwisely

"Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why? Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them." - Marilyn French _ Cruising down the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. This is the 2nd largest parliament building in the world after the Houses of Parliament in London. Architecture has a way to cross political and cultural boundaries. It says to me we are better when we share and collaborate rather than fear and hate. _ #budapest #archilovers

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." - Maria Robinson _ Look carefully to see cracks of red-hot lava. _ The hot slow-flowing silvery lava on Kilauea, Hawaii sits side-by-side with older, harder lava rock which already shows signs of rebirth with small green sprouts. This scene highlights the juxtaposition of life and death, old and new, and fresh starts. Today is your day. _ This shot was taken 100 feet above the surface in an open-door helicopter. I could feel the unstoppable heat from the lava envelope me. It's something that had to be experienced first-hand to be fully appreciated. _ @viatortravel @carnival #cruisingcarnival #volcano

View of our ship, @Carnival Miracle, from the beach at Kona on Hawaii's Big Island. _ This is my 2500th post on Instagram! What a big milestone! Thank you for following along on our journey and sharing your comments. Hopefully I've provided a little inspiration and I look forward to sharing many more moments. _ On Kona we took a real submarine ride to over 100 feet below the surface to see an amazing coral reef. Check out Atlantis Submarine if you visit Kona. _ #cruisingcarnival #hawaii #instagram

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it." - Chinese Proverb _ Hawaii's epic Rainbow Falls from above. _ This waterfall located near Hilo on the Big Island is 80 feet tall and nearly 100 feet in diameter. The falls flow over a natural lava cave, the mythological home to Hina, an ancient Hawaiian goddess. _ This shot was taken yesterday from an open-door helicopter as we flew around the Big Island. Wind speeds up that high reached 145 mph! I had to hold onto my camera for dear life. _ If you ever visit the Big Island I highly recommend this @viatortravel tour - it might not be the cheapest way to see the island but no doubt it's the best. And now one of my top highlights in over 4.5 years of non-stop travel. _ #cruisingcarnival #hawaii @carnival
The Big Island of Hawaii is getting a little bigger as lava from the Kilauea Volcano flows into the Pacific Ocean. _ Today we flew over the Big Island of Hawaii in an open-door helicopter, fulfilling a long-time bucket list item of mine and getting up close to a live volcano. _ I could feel the heat radiating from the red-hot lava. And as it met with the cold ocean, plumes of steam lifted into the sky. _ If it's on your wish list too, we found our tour on @viatortravel. It's safe to say this moment was a highlight on our 15-day @carnival cruise around Hawaii. _ #travelstoke #cruisingcarnival #hawaii

"The power of imagination makes us infinite." - John Muir _ Almost dinner time at Old Lahaina Luau on the Hawaiian island of Maui. _ We watched (and tasted) the traditional underground cooking of a whole pig, received hula lessons, tried percussion instruments and watched the stunning sunset. Afterwards a team of talented dancers shared a taste of Hawaiian history and culture through dance and music. What a fun night! 😀. _ My daughter's favorite part was sitting on the floor for dinner in traditional seating (there was regular tables also available). _ Have you been to a luau? _ #cruisingcarnival #hawaii #maui

Tomorrow's plans include a helicopter flight over a volcano so make sure you follow along on IG Stories to get behind-the-scenes. _ #cruisingcarnival
"It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts." – K.T. Jong _ Strolling the quiet decks of the Carnival Miracle this morning at sunrise as the ship pulled into the port of Nawilili on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. _ The sights of this @carnival cruise have been amazing. _ #hawaii #cruisingcarnival
