Carry It On When flying to your vacation destination, this is the best way to minimize not only your luggage haul, but your time and costs in the airport as well.

Three Memorable Experiences on St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Three Memorable Experiences on St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Young Island Young Island is home to a private resort that is located a very short boat ride from the 'mainland'. Once you arrive you are treated to beautiful views from the private beach. A bar floats slightly off shore. Several tables set back from the beach among the gardens are ideal spots to enjoy a buffet lunch with paired with some sort of tropical drink. Passion fruit rum perhaps. Best activity after lunch - do nothing and enjoy … [Read more...]

A Day on Tiny Grand Turk

August 5, 2017 by Dave6 Comments

A Day on Tiny Grand Turk

The giant cruise ships disembark on the southern side of Grand Turk - towering above you like skyscrapers as you walk down the pier. From your balcony on your state deck you are greeted with azure shallow waters and pure white sand beaches. Beyond the aquamarine waters, the sea turns a dark blue - evidence of the edge of the island shelf where the ocean plummets some 7,000 feet straight down to the bottom. A stop here was part of the Holland … [Read more...]

The Contrasts of Travel Experiences

July 15, 2017 by Dave8 Comments

The Contrasts of Travel Experiences

The contrasts of travel create an intriguing dichotomy while on the road. Today is a good example of experiences on the extreme ends of the spectrum. I met a yoga instructor living on the island of St. Barths last week for about 5 minutes. This was in a "remote" part of that tiny island along the rugged shoreline in what the locals call the 'natural pools', a series of surf fed ocean water that creates several small swimming areas. I … [Read more...]

Beautiful Bonaire: The Best Kept Secret of the Caribbean

Beautiful Bonaire: The Best Kept Secret of the Caribbean

Bonaire is truly an undiscovered diamond in, well, a seascape of so many beautiful diamonds. However, Bonaire is unique in that it remains a sort of untouched paradise in an over-saturated world. The least traveled of the ABC islands, it lies just quietly north of Venezuela in the Caribbean. This small island oasis is a snorkeling and diving paradise, as well as one of the most genial and heartwarming places I’ve ever been. This particular … [Read more...]

St. Lucia Stopover, ARC Race & Captain Lars

St. Lucia Stopover, ARC Race & Captain Lars

So far my latest trip to the Caribbean has involved a variety of transportation modes, a bicycle, a bus, walking, plane and now a helicopter. In the fading rays of the strong sunshine on the island of st. Lucia I hopped on board a helicopter for a 10 minute journey over the interior of the island from Hewanorra International Airport in the south to George F. L. Charles Airport in Castries City in the north. The interior of the island is … [Read more...]

Undiscovered Dominica, Too Short of a Stay on the Nature Island

Undiscovered Dominica, Too Short of a Stay on the Nature Island

After spending four relaxed yet still activity packed days on Dominica I find myself staying in the midst of sprawling apartment complexes on neighboring Guadeloupe in the city of Pointe-à-Pitre. Mere 25 minutes away by small jet, Guadeloupe feels worlds apart. World's away from the unspoiled natural setting and the the pleasant feel of space when you have a low population density (only 72,000 people live on the entire island). Now I am … [Read more...]

Corpus Christi is Really Unique!

April 11, 2017 by Rich Pearce6 Comments

Corpus Christi is Really Unique!

All I knew about Corpus Christi, Texas, before I visited my step-daughter, Michelle, and her family there this summer was that it was a seaside vacation town on the Gulf of Mexico. I expected to find a typical American beach resort, replete with masses of tourists and messy hedonistic vitality. And, that’s what I found - in part. Corpus Christi certainly deserves its reputation as a fun and entertaining place to vacation. And, despite its size … [Read more...]

Hitchhiking a boat across the Atlantic Ocean

April 9, 2017 by Jakob Horvat2 Comments

Hitchhiking a boat across the Atlantic Ocean

My mission was clear: "Hitchhiking from Austria to America" by land and sea. Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean was the last episode of this first part of my world trip. And there had been moments when I seriously wondered "why the hell am I doing that?" Why should I cover a distance of 2.700 nautical miles on a 38 feet sailing catamaran? What's the point in swinging over a million waves when one can so easily fly over the? Why taking a boat, that … [Read more...]
