In this section we highlight trips we’ve been on and share ideas on where to go and what to see.
After a brief visit of San José, Costa Rica, we drove up to the Poás Volcano area which is about a 90-minute drive from the old city where we were staying. While many discourage tourists from renting a car in Costa Rica, we had been before and the roads and traffic are generally not too […]
We had been to Costa Rica’s Monteverde and Arenal areas after having put it off for years and were so impressed that we booked another flight shortly after our return. The beauty of the scenery and the multitude of rare colorful birds left a lasting impression on us. This time instead of flying to Liberia […]
There are many world renown destinations in the Philippines for scuba diving, but Anilao is the one that is best known for macro and for nudibranchs. Finding tiny critters hiding in anemones, corals, or simply in plain site is something we truly enjoy so this was definitely a plus.
