We had a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Guayaquil that was supposed to leave at 11am. We were delayed for three hours and I started to panic because I know our schedule is very tight. However, we arrived at 6pm in Guayaquil. Apparently, this is a dangerous city. Is is level 2/3 (depending where you are located) on the US state department alerts. We are traveling with National Geographic … Continue reading Guayaquil, Ecuador
We bought a tour from shore excursions. We met the guide inside the mall. There were nine people on our island spice tour. The tiny bus that we boarded was parked in the super busy lot near the terminal. It took us about ten minutes to get out of our parking space. It was crazy. I was so happy that I didn’t have to drive there. We drove through the … Continue reading Grenada
We are currently on an Azamara cruise to some of the smaller islands in the Caribbean. We boarded the ship in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our first island stop was at St. Thomas. Since we have been to St. Thomas many times (we even got married there), we just wandered around Havensight, ate lunch at our favorite fast food spot, Tap and Still, and met up with … Continue reading Antigua
We have been wanting to visit the Dry Tortugas National Park for some time. We just have not made an effort to get to Key West, even though there are very cheap flight from Tampa every day. We finally got a hotel deal and flew down for a few days. There are only two ways to get to Dry Tortugas National Park. One is the ferry and the … Continue reading Dry Tortugas National Park

It takes about 30 minutes to drive there from the airport without traffic. I was excited to finally see a place that I used to teach in my Spanish classes. You would never know that you are headed to a National Forest … Continue reading Puerto Rico: El Yunque National Forest
We are on a Carnival cruise to the ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) Islands. I would rather not focus on the cruise side of this trip. Honestly, Carnival is not my favorite cruise line for a variety of reasons. However, you should know that if you take a cruise to these islands, there are going to be FOUR sea days. Two to get there and two to get back. This … Continue reading Aruba
We arrived in Denver the night before and drove to the ranch in the morning. Check in was at 3pm and we left around 11 to give us time to eat lunch and make any necessary stops. The drive to the ranch was interesting. After eating lunch in Loveland and heading north, we were on a windy uphill road. At one point there were rocks on every … Continue reading Rawah Ranch
