Day Trip to Eneko Island, Majuro Atoll

May 1, 2025 by Dave4 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. Nonstop flights are available from Honolulu, Guam and Kiribati. Unless you live in these … [Read more...]

Exploring Paradise: Key West Boat Tours

July 20, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

Whenever I am in south Florida, I always take a day or two to drive down to the keys. I usually fly into the Fort Lauderdale airport as its smaller and easier to navigate than Miami. My favorite time to visit is in December and or January when much of the rest of the U.S. is experiencing cold weather. Key West, the southernmost point of the continental United States, is a tropical paradise known for its vibrant culture, historic sites, and … [Read more...]

Easy to access, only about 15 minutes by mini van from Port Vila this private island is a favorite place to dive or snorkel by locals and visitors.

Sips to Remember: My Top 5 Unforgettable Drinks

October 1, 2022 by Dave4 Comments

I have been fortunate to have sampled a lot of alcohol on my travels around the planet, ranging from regional beers, to homemade rice wine, local concoctions in various villages including illegally made home-wine in a remote Iranian dessert village and some truly special beverages that were memorable due to their quality, pedigree and age along with external factors including companions and location. But there are a few drinks I count as being … [Read more...]

Al Dar Islands, Bahrain – July 2022

A trip out to these islands takes about 10 minutes from Sitra - an island within the country that is partially set aside for industrial use. Sitra is located about 20 minutes by car from the central part of Manama. You come here for relaxation to enjoy one of several bucolic beaches that surround clear and calm waters.

My Highlights of a Visit to Cap Haitien, Haiti

June 1, 2022 by Dave2 Comments

Nonstop flights leave from Miami to Cap Haitien daily (only about an hour and 45 minutes) and the small airport is located only about 20 minutes from town. Arriving in the heat of the day it was a short walk to the entrance to the airport where musicians were jamming some local flavors. A quick breeze through customs (helped by the fact I was the first one off the plane), no luggage to pickup and I was soon outside of the airport where my … [Read more...]
