Baja Breakout

Published on April 13, 2012 By Steve

Getting sick on our last day in Cabo, the timing was far from perfect surveying the pile of “stuff’ that was piled high ready to be packed. It was only too apparent that after 5 months in one place the wardrobe had expanded along with the shoe collection, scarf collection and yes, jewelry collection!! Under [...]

‘Don’t Worry… Be Hippie’

Published on May 31, 2011 By Steve

There are worse places to be cooling our heels than Cartagena Colombia while Pumper sails back to the US. We raved about this place in earlier blogs and it’s great to spend more time taking in this beautiful colonial city… and getting some beach and pool time. We’ve had lots of invitations to stop en [...]

Shopping/Shipping… Part 2!

Published on March 17, 2011 By Steve

Day 2: Power of positive thinking our ammunition, we were off to retrieve Pumper from the grasp of the port. Making an early start, still not in possession of long pants and shoes there was the issue ahead of us of how do we actually get her out of the port! Who knew the port [...]

Shopping Beats Shipping Any Day…

Published on March 14, 2011 By Steve

The day started out on a positive note full of promise and the anticipation of being reunited with Pumper (At the port in Cartagena) after her journey on the high seas (Over 500 containers fall from ships every month!!!) Thankfully we were no where near the Japanese Tsunami!! So after a sweaty morning trudging from [...]

Another border crossing along with all it’s highlights and delights.. Like Madam Dear, would you like your blood pressure tested… with this nasty sweaty piece of equipment that has just been wrapped around numerous sweaty smelly arm pits… No thanks!! But who would have thunk free health care at the border, thanks Costa Rica for [...]

‘Sick Ride Man’…!

Published on January 30, 2011 By Steve

Sick as in: The Coolest ride!! Yup hanging at a surfer’s prime beach, Pumper soaks up the admiring glances & compliments and yearns for her own board to carry around! Nothing like cruising in the hottest set of wheels in town soaking up the admiration and envy and enjoying the conversation from fellow global travelers.  [...]

Central America…The Way Things Are!

Published on January 21, 2011 By Steve

So here we sit in Nicaragua and so far I have entered and exited every Central American country without showing my face to an immigration officer… Huh!!! … Could you just imagine that happening in the USA, UK or Canada!! With the manic chaos at all these borders who would even care. Steve simply shows [...]

Newest Olympic Event… ‘The Honduras Sprint’

Published on January 20, 2011 By Steve

They say you can get too much of a good thing but I’m not sure about that: A week at Tom’s place in El Salvador was off the charts, manic fun and splash!! More adventures than one can imagine. Racing around on the high sea’s climbing aboard shrimp boats. (Throwing up.) Chasing fishing vessels. Exploring [...]

Adios Guatemala… Hola El Salvador

Published on January 12, 2011 By Steve

We arrived in Monterrico, the only beach talked about in Guatemala. Coming off a fantastic 3 weeks in Lake Atitlan and Antigua we knew the run had to end. Monterico is not what we would call a great beach location, and the amenities are pretty bare but we did find a hotel where we could [...]
