Our Travels

We like to travel. There are three kinds of trips in our life.

Trips to visit our families. With Stephanie's relatives spread over the USA and Diederik's in Europe, we are not talking about weekend trips in the car. Especially when we visit our relatives in Europe; that is a 2 to 3 week trip with airplane flights and long distance driving. Here are some pictures from recent trips:

    2005 USA : Wisconsin, Delaware, and again Wisconsin for a wedding

    2005 Europe

    2006 USA : Delaware, Wisconsin

    2009 Delaware  

    2009 Netherlands and France   

    2010 Wisconsin   

    2011 Delaware

Trips for relaxation/vacation.  These are always trips to a nice, warm beach. We like nothing better then going to a nice sandy beach in the Caribbean. A beach with a nice beach house on a deserted beach, where we can swim, sun, snorkel, look for shells and such, drink margaritas, and dress what ever way we want, including not dressing at all. So here are links to some pictures of these trips.

And last but not least our trip of a lifetime to explore corners of the world that are typically out of reach. In 2001 we made a seven week trip to Bali and Australia. There are pictures of the outbound flight and Singapore, of Club Med Bali, our Bali tour, Australia's Northern Territories, Cairns, Dunk Island and finally of Melbourne and the return flight.

Here is a picture of Diederik's favorite beach. This is Twin Coves, Eleuthera.
