Tips for Kiwis (and anyone else actually) on their Anaheim holiday… PART 1
A holiday to the USA is usually something of a once-in-a-lifetime event for many kiwis and Aussies. Our recent trip to Anaheim was one of those for us. We had wicked fun, we did it within budget and took home piles of awesome memories. I enjoyed posting our successes and discoveries while we w...
