My Top 5 Reasons to Take a Cruise

December 5, 2018 by Dave4 Comments

One of my favorite destinations for cruising is in the Caribbean - with island nations typically 60 to 100 miles apart, one can visit a different country nearly every day. It is a destination where one can just as easily opt for a short cruise or a longer one and still be exposed to different countries and cultures. And with plenty of beaches and year round warm weather, I've found myself in the Caribbean every November or December the past few … [Read more...]

Excited to test out my new Vasque hiking boots I headed up state to the northern reaches of California.

For those who can't wait to get to the 'strip' this is a surprising convenience.

Lago De Coatepeque, El Salvador – December 2018

December 1, 2018 by DaveLeave a Comment

On a sunny day, this brilliant blue lake reflects the surrounding steep slopes of the green jungle covered caldera presenting views that are truly inspirational. The lake itself is about an hour drive from the capital of San Salvador. The road around the lake is dirt - rough at times but certainly passable in a normal car when it is dry. The small island in the southern part of the lake is called Teopan and used to be a Mayan site. Today a … [Read more...]

Introduction to Havana

November 22, 2018 by Dave14 Comments

I learned that it takes a few days to warm to Cuba - but when you do, its alluring embrace grabs you with all it has and doesn't let go. The colorfully dressed person in front of me boarded the plane without any shoes and left the plane without any shoes. Never seen that before. Following a very quick wait in customs, I then caught a taxi to Havana for 30 CUC, the Cuban currency (the airport is about 30-45 minutes from the center of the city). … [Read more...]
