Aruba on my Mind

October 3, 2017 by Dave8 Comments

Having explored much of the Caribbean but not yet the ABC's (Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao) - I opted to take a week long late summer trip to Aruba.

Although I did have to reroute my original return flight plan which was through Houston … [Read more...]

Catching Fish and Memories at Waterfall Resort, Alaska

September 18, 2017 by Dave6 Comments

On an unusually clear day in Southeast Alaska, I find myself peering out the window of a float plane several thousand feet above a swath of wilderness alternating between dense forest and sparkling dark blue lakes. Our pilot was in shorts and a t shirt displaying a prominent skull decked out in a red bandanna framed by the 'cross hairs' of a propeller. I was with a group of journalists on a plane operated by Pirate Airworks. Our departure city … [Read more...]

One can normally expect to get wet regardless of the time of year visiting. However, remarkably during our two days in town, we had bright blue sunny skies the entire time. When we told people who had been here before and showed them photographs to prove … [Read more...]

Spring Skiing at Valle Nevado in Chile

August 28, 2017 by Amber MacPherson2 Comments

The Mountain As the ski lift reached the mountain top, I released my white knuckled grip on the J-bar and slid forward toward the majestic snow capped Andean peaks looming large in the distance. It was spring in South America and the backside of the mountain, was nearly empty, inhabited only by myself and the occasional lift operator. The resort was visible as a spec in the distance beyond the lift I had just exited, and a mountain vista of … [Read more...]
