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

May 10, 2017 by Dave9 Comments

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...]

Jet Skiing the Chao Praya River, Bangkok

April 10, 2017 by Dave12 Comments

While on a boat cruise on the Chao Praya River recently I thought to myself "wouldn't it be cool to jump on a jet ski and zip past all these temples, river boat barges, long tail boats, ferry boats, river cruise boats and anything else that commonly floats past the banks of Bankok". A search yielded no results other then one - a tour offered by a local named Many who mentioned a stop at a jet ski center, marina and restaurant. She offered a … [Read more...]
