Day Trip to Eneko Island, Majuro Atoll

May 1, 2025 by Dave5 Comments

The Marshall Islands are one of the planet's most remote island countries, but even within 'remote' one can find places even further removed from people. And Eneko Island is the perfect example. For reference the Marshall Islands are closer to Papua New Guinea than Hawaii, are slightly north of the equator and are located west of the international date line.

Wine Tasting in India?

March 1, 2025 by Dave4 Comments

When I told my brother in law that we were visiting Nashik in India to try their wines, his response was something like, "when I was growing up in Chennai, Indian wines were not considered very good".
