“We went out for dinner in Melbourne… and somehow ended up in New York City.” 🇦🇺➡️🗽

Goodbye Cairns… hello Melbourne—and one of the fanciest Holiday Inns we’ve ever seen. Coffee and cocktails at check-in… TV everywhere… even bowling. Not your typical stopover.

We had time to wander, so we did what you do… got a little lost.
Stumbled into a whimsical Dr. Seuss Gallery Melbourne… where The Cat in the Hat lives on… and the story behind Dr. Seuss reminds you how one push can change the world.

Soon… the Kiwi Crew got hungry.
Green eggs and ham? Not today.

We landed at Henry and the Fox… a little food, a little laughter… a little Love. Health. Adventure.

And then… everything changed.

Police cars rolled in.
Fire trucks lined the streets.
Hot dog stands appeared out of nowhere.
Garbage everywhere. Streets shut down.

Lights. Cameras. Action.

Right before our eyes… Melbourne became New York City.

They were filming Empire City—starring Gerard Butler and Hayley Atwell.
An NYPD hostage crisis. A skyscraper under attack. Firefighters battling floor by floor…

And we’re just sitting there… a few tables away… watching Hollywood unfold in real time.

Only in Australia…
do you go out for dinner…
and accidentally end up in New York City.

Another unforgettable moment with the Kiwi Crew.
Love. Health. Adventure.

“Flying Over the Rainforest” 🌿

Today… we traded roads for the sky.

High above one of the world’s oldest rainforests… we drifted silently on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway… floating over dense jungle, winding rivers, and misty waterfalls.
Quiet. Peaceful. Like a living postcard.

Midway… we stepped into the canopy.
A guided walk among ancient trees… where nature still writes the rules.
Carpet pythons. Flying foxes. Birdwing butterflies.
And somewhere above us… white-lipped tree frogs hiding in plain sight.

Then on to Kuranda…
A little art. A little culture. A little courage.

Because lunch looked like this…
Kangaroo. Crocodile.
(When in Australia… right?)

A scoop of ice cream at the station…
And then… the slow way home.

A scenic train winding through tunnels… over bridges… beneath the canopy…
Back down the mountain toward Smithfield.

Not rushed. Not loud.
Just… present.

Another day in paradise.
Floating above the rainforest…
and rolling gently back through it.

For Love.
For Health.
For Adventure. 🌿

They did not arrive for applause.
They arrived to be seen.

The call carried through the forest.
The chief stepped forward.
The warrior moved with intention.
The women answered with rhythm and grace.Sticks struck in unity—many hearts, one beat.

This wasn’t performance.
It was presence. A reminder that in Māori tradition, love is not rushed, private, or silent.

It is witnessed.
It is shared.
It is carried by the whole community.

Grateful to observe, to listen, and to learn.

Bucket List… Delivered 🌊

Some dreams sit quietly on your list…
…and then one day… you’re flying toward them at 35 knots.

The Great Barrier Reef has a way of doing that.

90 minutes out to the edge of the world…
Wetsuits on. Masks tight. Quick briefing…
…and suddenly—we’re in.

We tried to stay together…
…but the reef had other plans.

We drifted… explored… disappeared into our own little worlds.
Coral in every direction.
Fish in colors you didn’t know existed.
Bigger. Brighter. Endless.

We’ve snorkeled before…
…but nothing like this.

Ann Marie? She found her happy place.
Three dive spots. Five hours later…
…and she still wasn’t ready to leave.

(Car�leen had to literally call her back in… 😄)

Then… on the ride home…
Rain poured down…
Sun broke through…
And just like that… nature gave us the perfect rinse.

Salt off. Smiles on.
Ready for whatever comes next.

Love. Health. Adventure.

You travel 9,000 miles across the world…
…and somehow… you end up right back at home.

Today we landed in Cairns — gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
Ann Marie gazing out the window… reliving the waters that shaped this journey…
Cathedral Cove… Huka Falls… Waikato River… Cable Bay… Punakaiki…
New Zealand doesn’t just have water… it moves you.

We touched down… drove straight to Port Douglas… locked in our reef dive… mission accomplished.
Then a slow moment… Sauvignon Blanc at the Tin Shed… barefoot beach walk with the Kiwi Crew…
and a quiet stop at a little timber-framed church that felt like it had stories to tell.

Back in Cairns… I sat down at the Harbourside Café…
and something stopped me.

The chairs.

Curved wood. Lightweight. Timeless.
The same bentwood chairs from my hometown… Sheboygan.
The same ones in our dining room… nearly 60 years of meals, laughter, life.

Halfway around the world…
and somehow… still at the table.

Craftsmanship travels.
Good design lasts.
And sometimes… home finds you… wherever you go.

Bentwood chairs.
Sheboygan roots.
A café in Cairns.
Small world. Beautiful one.

Love. Health. Adventure.

Only in Australia… 🇦🇺

Go to church…
Walk through a tropical jungle…
Sip cocktails by the ocean…
And race home in a monsoon downpour…
…all in one unforgettable afternoon.

After church, we stopped at the George Brown Gardens Café… our usual breakfast… then wandered into one of Australia’s most unique tropical gardens. Suddenly… orchids, waterlilies, towering banyan trees… and something we didn’t expect…

Large… aggressive… hard-biting… green weaver ants… marching like tiny soldiers carrying their lunch up the trees.

And here’s the wild part…
Australia’s Indigenous people brewed lemony citrus tea from these little rascals… to clear congestion, soothe sore throats, and boost energy.

Hmm… sounds a little like Jake’s StrongGinger to me… just maybe… without the bite.

Then… a quiet park bench kiss under a beautiful old oak tree…
Ann Marie heads for a peaceful beach walk…
The rest of us sip cool drinks… enjoying the gentle ocean breeze at Fannie Bay.

We thought she might never return… but she did.

And then… the sky opened.
Raindrops… then a tropical downpour.
We piled into the car… Kevin at the wheel…And through the monsoon… safely home.

Just in time for a good night’s sleep…
Because tomorrow… a three-hour flight to Cairns…
For yet another day of…

Love. Health. Adventure. 🌿✨

We expected kangaroos…
But we didn’t expect crocodiles, flying fox bats… and nearly drowning under a 100-foot waterfall.

After a 10-hour overnight flight from Queenstown to Darwin, we picked up a rental car just before sunrise… too early to check into the hotel… so naturally… we headed straight for the outback.

From coastal Darwin to the wild landscapes of Blackmore… the scenery transformed into red earth plains, savannah woodlands, monsoon forests, and mangrove-lined rivers that looked straight out of a nature documentary.

We saw termite mounds… golden orb spiders… flying fox bats… and crocodile warning signs.

Then came Litchfield National Park… and Florence Falls.
160 stairs down… and 160 back up.

But at the bottom… breathtaking.
Twin waterfalls nearly 100 feet high… crashing into a crystal-clear plunge pool.

I couldn’t resist. I swam straight for the falls.

The current was strong.
The roar was deafening.
And then… Kevin got hit by a surge… pushed underwater… coming up gasping. For a moment… he thought he was drowning.

But after a few coughs… he gathered himself… and courageously swam back… joining me under the falls.

One of the greatest showers of my life…
One unforgettable adventure…
In the wild heart of Australia.

For Love.
For Health.
For Adventure.

Final day in New Zealand… and somehow, we saved one of the most unforgettable moments for last. 🇳🇿✈️

A quiet flat white at Mrs. Woolly’s…
A cinnamon roll…
A Kiwi Crew photo at the Glenorchy red shed…

Then suddenly… we were climbing into the clouds.

Flying through Mt. Aspiring National Park…
Past Mt. Tititea — the Māori “Glistening Peak”…
And into Milford Sound — a place that feels less like scenery… and more like a living cathedral carved by time.

Towering cliffs…
Waterfalls falling from the clouds…
And then… Stirling Falls.

The captain slowed… turned to port…
A cool mist…
A deep rumble…
And suddenly… we were soaked.

Laughing.
Surprised.
Completely in awe.

And just like that… it was over.

But Milford Sound leaves something behind…
A stillness.
A quiet.
A memory that lingers.

One last ginger beer…
Irish music along the boardwalk…
And tomorrow… we head for Australia.

For love.
For health.
For adventure. 🌎✨

Two weeks without Jake’s StrongGinger… and things are getting weird.

First, I’m flying at iFLY…
Then I’m hallucinating bees…
Then Kevin traps a bee under a glass… next to my 4-ounce Jake’s…
And I’m stuck deciding — do I grab the ginger… or risk the sting?

No bee.
No Jake’s.
Just dreams… or maybe withdrawals.

Then suddenly… Queenstown.
Fiery sunset. Aperol Spritz. Wood-fired pizza.
An Irish bar showing the Australian Open.

Peaceful walk along the lake…

Then — scream.
Splash.
Four girls jump in… and one realizes she just lost the bottom of her swimsuit.

Ann Marie looks at me and says,
“Okay… it’s time to go. I’m too old for this.”

Probably a good call.

Tomorrow… Milford Sound.
One of the most beautiful places on earth.

Sweet dreams… or at least… less weird ones.

Love.
Health.
Adventure.

“Jake” Jacobson, A Hemingway of Sorts.

When I was young, my father and I did a lot of traveling. �He usually carried a bag of candied Ginger with him. It was his miracle “cure-all” snack. It just made him feel good. Years after he’d passed away, I slowly began to acquire a taste for ginger. In time, I developed a brewing process to extract as much ginger as possible from the root, so that I might enjoy all the benefits of ginger. Wow, it’s strong!!! Drink it hot. Drink it cold. Or just add a shot to your favorite beverage, sauce or entree. Drink in the morning and right before bed. You’ll be surprised at how good it makes you feel. -Jake Jr. :-)
