I am so tragically behind on this blog that it's embarrassing, but I refuse to give up, so onward! [Warning: this is a LONG one...] After a lovely 4 weeks of family and friends, it was time to get back on the road - we couldn't forget Latin America! We didn't plan this leg of …

Photo Post – Captivating Costa Rica
Final stop on our whirlwind world tour was Costa Rica! And while our pace in Costa Rica was a lot less hectic than before, we still got to see a lot of the Costa Rican rain forest and beautiful beaches. Enjoy!
One Week in Botswana
The final leg of our adventures through Africa is here! Day 251, part 2: Chobe is my new favorite place! If you read the last post, you'll know that I left off right after the border crossing into Botswana, where I was greeted immediately by the glorious sight of elephants crossing the highway (because you …
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. (Fun …

Kenya, part 1 – Safari Time!
Our time in Asia was over, but the fun was only just getting started. There was a lot to look forward to for our 8 weeks in Africa, but I would be lying if I didn't admit what you all already know--it's all about the elephants! 🐘😍 Day 200: Welcome to Kenya! Our flight from Doha …
Photo Post – Remarkable Kenya
While we did a lot more than just Safari in Kenya, the animals, of course, make for the most compelling pictures. And we saw a lot of animals! (We also saw a lot of bumpy roads, but I'll spare you those pictures.) Enjoy.
Philippines, part 2
Here’s the second half of our Filipino adventures: Day 141, continued: Electricity is overrated? Once I had my pants back, I was a much happier woman. My stress (and anger) levels were reduced enough that I could happily take a nap on the ferry ride back to Cebu with the assistance of my wonderful travel …
Philippines, part 1
Clearly I'm struggling to stay on the blogging bandwagon (#fail) but here's some more catch-up... Day 131: Doritos for first dinner This day was mostly lost to travel, so there's not much to say, BUT I would like to report that the Manila airport is a tragedy, or at least the domestic terminal is. Our …
