Postcard from Cahuita: Wish You Were Here on the “Rich Coast” (Costa Rica)

March 15, 2014 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

John M. Edwards succumbs to the lures and snares of Costa Rica’s Caribbean “ecotourism,” instead of “narcissism,” in a relatively wealthy country translating literally as “Rich Coast.” I stood in a state of stupefaction, eavesdropping on a few randomundocumented locals who looked like they were engaging in a slapping fight—except with warm smiles of nonrecognition on their faces, maybe ganja buzzes. “Hey, mon, wha’appen!” “Wa’appen, … [Read more...]

How I Got My Glow On in St. Thomas

February 1, 2014 by Paul Kandarian1 Comment

Three if by land, two if by sea. Sorry, Paul Revere, but you got lit up your way, I’ll do it mine.

Helicopter Tour of Darwin Australia

January 30, 2014 by Dave2 Comments

What to do in Darwin on a rainy grey day? Going up in a Helicopter is perhaps not one's first choice. It is the rainy season here. With that said, perhaps it was optimistic to think I could do a scheduled Heli Pub Crawl. Yes this is what you think! Five remote pubs accessed via helicopter - spread out over 250 miles - lasting much of the day. Meeting locals, meeting characters and perhaps making some new friends. Oh and enjoying great beer. … [Read more...]

January 25, 2014 by Paul KandarianLeave a Comment

If you’ve ever tripped along Main Street in Charlotte Amalie, the bustling capital city of St. Thomas in the Caribbean, you know how crowded it can be in season, especially when cruise ships berth, spilling thousands of tourists into the narrow streets seeking deals.
