More Quotes

August 8, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

Every once in a while during my Internet browsing I stumble upon favorite quotes or short clips. These two clips reference "perspective" and "fear" the latter of which is often buried by the former after one has built up their "travel resume". This first quote comes from Alexandra Vasiliu of Watermelon Nomads in describing her thoughts on travel experiences as well her travel website. I believe now that the richness of a travel experience is … [Read more...]

Top 3 Favorite Trips & One Bad One!

August 5, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

Time spent using public transportation are good opportunities to reflect on previous travels. One does not always get to do this; when you are addicted to travel you are often thinking about your next trip even during your current trip. I came up with a list of my top 3 favorite trips and the one "trip from hell". #1 Trip to Nepal I took in 1996 - this trip really turned me on to International travel and the hardships I personally faced … [Read more...]

Travel Life List

July 25, 2010 by Dave5 Comments

I was recently stuck in the Miami airport for 5 dreaded hours (not because of the particular airport, but because I hate long connection times) and I was talking to Maggie who runs Mighty Girl and maintains her own Life List. We were discussing top 10 life experience lists based on experts in their fields. My focus would be on travel of course; here is my top 10 list in no particular order. Perspective. This is a word that defines travel. … [Read more...]

Jamaica works her Magic!

July 22, 2010 by Dave1 Comment

Ingredients: Good People, Outdoor Adventure, Romance, Black Eyed Peas and a bit of Jamaican Rum (perhaps more than a bit)! We've heard that Jamaica has the most churches per capita and also the most Rum Bars - you can even find Rum bars at Churches - as well as on boats. This catamaran is no exception - they have a well-stocked mini bar. If there ever was an LA song, it is "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas, but we will always remember … [Read more...]

Death Valley’s Heat Window opens

July 21, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

We are in that window again, the one time per year where you have a shot at experiencing the most extreme temperatures Death Valley has to offer. Typically years after higher rainfalls see the hottest temperatures in the valley. However this year has been disappointingly cold in the valley - below 110 for a few days, in mid July - whats UP? We are backed up on upcoming trips but we are trying to squeeze a camping trip to Furnace Creek sometime … [Read more...]
