Loved Costa Rica, but didn't have a digital camera at the time. wildlife there is absolutely amazing. The quaint town of Sarchi is wonderful. Also Arenal and Volcan Irazu are must sees. Cloud forests are amazing too.

Another great surf trip.... This was the second time that i have been to both of these countries and by far not the last. It was three weeks starting in San Jose costa rica to Hermosa and Jaco and north to the Guancaste are. Than we hopped the border to Nicaragua and hung out in San Juan del Sur and Maderas

For years I always wanted to come to Costa Rica - and it was worth every day! The nature is of great beauty and compared to other middle and south american regions all is impressively clean and well-organized. The people are self-concious, friendly and open-minded to foreigners who want to get to know their country without playing the "tourist".  Not everything is european standard but if you request for that you should travel to Austria...the climate is humid and mos…

unser 6-taegiger sailingtrip von sued- nach mittelamerika ist abenteuerlich und schoen:  dienstag morgen machen wir uns mit sack und pack auf zum hafen, wo wir fuer laengere zeit das letzte mal festen boden unter den fuessen spueren, und wo wir unsere reisegschpaennli treffen: javier, unser captain, der zwar kaum, und mit lustigem spanischem akzent englisch spricht, aber sehr nett und geduldig ist und uns gerne erklaert wie alles funktioniert auf unserem boot; esperanza, seine freundin…

The best things about a cruise is the food and destinations! This was my second cruise and they just keep getting better. The sights, places and memories to be made and everlasting.

A family vacation taken last year that provided some great interaction with desolate cultures and a stronger bond with my family and myself.

Northwestern Guatemala is mountains and mountains and valleys and valleys. Nebaj and Todos Santos are isolated and still have a rich local culture.

We arrived in Belmopan just before dark, and Bert, the taxi driver, hit us up immediately.  I told him i wanted cheap accommodations so he took us to Eastern Guesthouse, run by "chinaman".  The rooms were very basic, but the price was decent.  49 BZD for a double room with a shower but no air condition.  After we settled in, we immediately went for a walk about.  We got near the bus station and Bert spotted us, and told us he knew where to take us.  He dropped us…

I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains of Totonicapan. We left the house once again for the day’s assignments, and met a Deaf Mayan, Jom, in Xetul, San Cristobal. He welcomed me as if I was an old friend of his. We took to communicating quickly through gesturing, but Marco aided us with the local sign language and ASL. Jom is well known in the area for making the best clothing. He even sells his work to different states in Guatemala and Mexico! He has three machines (tejido e h…

I went to Antigua, Guatemala this past May as a nurse volunteer. I helped perform over 80 surgeries in the week I was there. Its was so amazing and beautiful! Cant't wait till next time!

This started out as a report of my trip to Belize during April '08, but I revised it to refer to my travels in general whenever they pertain to business as they tend to be quite unusual. A day in the life of an arms dealer on the road if you will...

I took an amazing 8 day cruise. Ports were Belize City Belize, Limon Costa Rica, and Colon Panama.
