We’re really not the sophisticated expert packing kind. None of those fancy folding devices for us. In actuality we’re more about stuffing it all in, and then getting on with the exploring part of our trips. But we have done two weeks in France and Italy with just carry on, so perhaps we have a […]
For the last 13 years we have come to discover, nay fall in love with, a variety of the beautiful islands of the Caribbean. Some offer a wealth of pristine beaches, others feature more dining and casino options, and yet all seem to have a wealth of abundant sunshine and tropical weather. But, some things […]
The old adage states “There’s no Place Like Home”. But for us the adage couldn’t be any further from the truth. We love to travel, and more specifically traveling throughout the Caribbean, and we love everything that goes with it. Well I guess not really everything, we’re not that much on flight delays, lost luggage, […]
The boat has docked, and the backpack is ready for a day ashore. Now you and your significant other glance at each other, both wishing you had spent a little more time reviewing the possible excursion options.

There are times we all find ourselves lost in dreams of beautiful sun-kissed days on a pristine stretch of sand. But maybe you’re more of a participant than a spectator. Perhaps you long for more of an Eco-adventure when you travel. Or maybe, like us, you just long to see if you still have it […]
As the cold weather settles in on the Midwest, our minds are focusing on warmer days and places. This week we found ourselves thinking about our first ever Caribbean excursion, and decided to share a few of our memories. Today we’re going back to 1999, and Sailing Week as it is celebrated in beautiful Antigua. […]
Have you ever seen something on television and thought to yourself “I have got to have that”? And no I’m not referring to Ginsu Knives or ‘The Official Snuggie’. Well I have, and it eventually led us to a trip on another beautiful Caribbean island. Some time ago, while watching The Travel Channel, I came […]
I suppose it should come as no surprise that we love beaches, and we love seeing photographs of beautiful warm places. It helps us to dream a bit, and we love to plan for future trips. As the weather in our home port turns colder, we’re ready for a little something to help warm our […]
