  • The Atlantic Meets The Caribbean

    Some very raw and rough footage I took of a reef off the coast of Barbuda in the Caribbean sea.  What we are seeing is a reef where the Atlantic Ocean (dark blue) hits the reef, waterfalls over it and becomes the Caribbean Sea (light blue).  Very loud so turn down the sound.  I apologize…

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Escape

    This week the challenge presented us is “Weekly Photo Challenge: Escape”.  In the description, one sentence hit me as so true in my thinking in the past while, “the desire to disappear and run away, the need to unplug and shut off”.  To some this may mean solitude, or winding down.  To me it means…

  • Antigua – To Sail Wins, So Far

    We have asked ourselves several times the question, to sail or not to sail.  At this point, we have advanced to the point that it is not a definite no, yet still not a definitive yes.  We are satisfied that we can do it on a level of ability, now comes the thinking part.  As…

  • Song Of The Day – Danny Michel – What Colour Are You

    One of my favourite Canadian artists, Danny Michel, released this tune last year off his album, “Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me”.  The song, “What Colour Are You” is rife with Latin rhythms, which make sense as it was recorded in Belize.  You ever been to Belize? Danny is one of those unsung types (no…

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

    This was taken on Roatan Island in the Honduras.  Monkeys make nice hats, very warm and they can be trained to wipe your glasses and hold your ball hat.

  • My Reasons to Travel….As Often As Possible – Number 4 – The Drink

    In my last post, I discussed food and it’s value in travel.  One has to have something to complement the food, or maybe one needs a cooling refreshing beverage to pick up your spirits on a hot tropical day.  This brings to the next reason to travel, the drink.  Yes,  you can enjoy various wines,…

  • A Dream – Escaping to Paradise

      Tossing it all, leaving the rat race, living in paradise.  If you are committed and work to a goal, it CAN be accomplished.  The attached article tells the tale of one couple who successfully made the transition to escapee.  They made it to their own little paradise in Costa Rica.  Read on and dream…

  • Trip Summary – New Orleans and Western Caribbean

    Roatan Island – March 24, 2011 – Seeing and Touching Monkeys

    Another day, another new country, this time Honduras and the spectacular island of Roatan. For the first time on this cruise, we saw something that was actually close to what we imagined. Lush green scenery, hills and valleys and pristine beaches. The excursion we picked was a combo, beach and park tour. First up was…

  • Belize – Cave Tubing – March 23, 2011

    When Lori and I were perusing possible excursions, we came across one in Belize that looked a bit different.  River tubing through caves.  I don’t believe there are to many places in the world that this combination would exist, so, we had to try it.  We book excursions for 1 main reason, not missing the…
