3 Weeks in Costa Rica
We're finally here - the last stop of the trip! Only 8 months late, no biggie. 🤦🏽♀️ Fortunately for you (and me), this post will be short and sweet since the vast majority of my time was spent tanning and reading (and sleeping and eating). Day 325: Another leg finished, another flight to take Our flights …
3 Weeks in Argentina
I haven't written since SEPTEMBER (2018) and we were in Argentina in MAY/JUNE (2018) so needless to say, I'm a shamble. But I made a New Years' resolution that I would finish this blog, so here I go. [Warning: Given that we're now 6 months post-trip, my memory of details is hazy at best, so …

12 Days in Namibia
After finishing up in Tanzania, it was time to move on to southern Africa. We'd already been to South Africa and Zimbabwe a few years ago for our honeymoon, so we opted to visit new places this time around: Namibia and Botswana. We used a tour operator (we ended up sort of hating him but …
Tanzanian Safari-ing + Zanzibari Lazy-ing
As usual, I'm about half a century behind on blogging...my bad. Here we go again: Days 223-238: After wrapping up in Kenya, we spent just over two weeks in Tanzania, with 6 of those days (5 nights) spent on safari and the remainder spent appreciating the glorious heat, humidity, and clear waters of Zanzibar.
