This trip was like a dream come true for us. We were so worried about jinxing it we hardly told anyone about it until we had arrived. We even hid for a week prior to leaving to make sure we didn’t catch a bug before heading out! My dad had flown to Antarctica from Ushuaia, […]
Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago situated at the tip of the South American continent. It’s divided between Chile and Argentina. And the southernmost part is only 965 km (600 miles) away from Antarctica. The whole area covers 72,520 sq km (28,000 sq mi). Its boundary to the north is the Strait of Magellan and […]
The Kalahari Desert had been on our radar for a while. This area in the Northern Cape of South Africa near Botswana is a special place. It is said to be one of the rare places to see some elusive animals like pangolins, aardvarks, aardwolves, bat-eared foxes, and brown hyenas. Why we chose the Motse […]
We love the South African Sabi Sands area. While we’ve been to a few camps in the area already, we were sure that we’d see some of our favorite cats here which was definitely a good reason to return. Why we chose Londolozi The Sabi Sands area is a haven for big cats and abundant […]
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 […]
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.
One fun thing to do during the Florida winter is to get out and look for manatees. These gentle giants come up the springs looking for warmer water. We sometimes see them at the outlet of power stations and other areas where they might find some warmer water. There are several good spots to go. […]
With all we had read about the Wakatobi Dive Resort, we had high expectations. And we weren’t disappointed! We have to admit that all the good things we had heard turned out to be true. Run like a Swiss clock, every detail was taken care of making the experience of staying at Wakatobi simply a […]
Costa Rica had been on our wish list seemingly forever. I even found a guidebook we had purchased in 2008 in the hopes of visiting this wonderful and magical place. We’re not quite sure why it took so long, there are multiple daily short 3-hour direct flights from Miami to both San Jose and Liberia […]
We dove for a week in Cayman Brac with a 17-dive package from Cayman Brac Beach Resort. See our resort review here Diving is on-site and run by Reef Divers. There are at least four boats but as the resort wasn’t full, we had two boats going out daily during our stay. Our boat, the […]
