One year ago today we were on our 45th day of our Honeymoon, stuck in Dallas after missing our flight home to New Zealand.

Our bags were still left with the airline and without any clean clothes or toiletries we were left to wait 24 hours for our new flight. While some might think of a missed flight as a bad thing, we saw an opportunity to add a quick Texas trip to our Honeymoon!

We didn't have a lot of time here but we were able to go out for a proper Texas BBQ meal at Hard Eight BBQ with their giant BBQ smoke pits.

Then we were back to the Airport for our flight home to NZ. This Honeymoon has been filled with so many incredible moments and unforgettable experiences, many that we were able to share with family and friends along the way. Thank you so much to everyone who made time to be a part of our trip. And thank you to all our wedding guests who gave us money as a gift. This is where the money was spent and we're so grateful to all of you for helping us to have this Honeymoon around the USA and Canada.

One year ago today we were on the 44th day of our Honeymoon, and also the last day of our Honeymoon. It was time to say goodbye to our Florida family and head back to Orlando for our flight to New Zealand.

We had such a great time in Florida exploring theme parks, spending time with family, and getting to see where they live. Thank you so much to everyone who spent time with us while we were there and we hope we'll see you again soon.

After arriving in Orlando we had a long and delayed wait for our flight at the airport due to some thunderstoms, and by the time we landed in Dallas for our connecting flight, we only had 10 minutes to get to our next plane that was on the other side of the terminal. We tried to run to the next gate but didn't make it in time and despite the plane still being at the gate, they wouldn't let us on.

So this wasn't really the last day of our Honeymoon afterall. We booked another flight for the following night and went off to a hotel in Dallas where we'll spend day 45 of our Honeymoon.

One year ago today we were on the 42nd day of our Honeymoon, with the family in Gainsville Florida.

It was another nice and quiet family day, enjoying time with some really special people who we don't get to see often enough.

Kuya Mark took us on another Gators tour around their university. Then we went out for lunch with Ate Wella and our neice Izzy before hitting up the Arcade for some fun games. It was so nice to be able to see where our family were living and experience life in their town.
