Sometimes The Unscripted Tour is the most Memorable

March 18, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

We disembarked the Holland America Line, MS euroDam and I caught a whiff of some crew chatter about some sort of strike on the island. I didn't think much of this at the time. Soon we were driving through the "Dutch" countryside and a few minutes later we were driving through the "French" countryside. The island of St. Martin is a divided territory between the Dutch and the French - on the French side the Euro is used and the Dutch still use (at … [Read more...]

Nature Tour of Bangkok? You’ve Got to be Kidding, Right?!

March 4, 2016 by Dave2 Comments

When I first signed up for the Follow Me Siam Sawan 'Jungle Tour' I cursorily glanced at the itinerary and assumed this would be an urban jungle tour - especially since their office is located in Sathorn, right in Bangkok's Financial District. I also assumed it would be a sweaty tour with rivulets of water running off of us after just a few minutes in the saddle and also traffic would be terrible (a Monday morning). Unbelievably neither of … [Read more...]
