I slept terrible last night. Like super terrible. As the yacht moved through the night, crossing from the Southern Hemisphere up to the Northern, I moved as well; tossing and turning all night long. A musty smell, hot room, and headachy amongst the waves were determined to keep me awake. After getting nowhere trying to... Continue Reading →
When the water goes out while you have laundry in and ends up delayed by two hours it turns into a late night getting packed back up. I slept decently and was again up before my alarm this morning. I don’t mind one bit, I’m happy to eke out every last moment I can on... Continue Reading →
The sun again dictated my early wake-up time of 6am. I rolled myself out of bed to use the bathroom and when I flipped the light switch nothing happened. Huh. I flipped it back down. Back up. Nothing. Odd. I flipped the switch in the bedroom, nothing there either. Well crap, the power is out.... Continue Reading →
The 6am sun woke me before my alarm. I could have used the extra sleep but I wasn’t mad about it. Fun fact: did you know that roosters will crow ALL NIGHT LONG? It’s hard to be mad about the early wake up when the view from bed is the glistening turquoise water and white... Continue Reading →
I had every intention of getting a solid 8 hours of sleep last night. I had gotten settled into my AirBnB for the evening by 5pm and wanted to be asleep by 9pm. Well, that didn’t happen. Talking with my friend, who will be meeting me in Isabela, and finalizing the plans to stay an... Continue Reading →
As eager as I am to get to the Galapagos, there was no choice but to stay a night in Guayaquil given the flight times. I’ve been excited to actually spend some time in Guayaquil and booked two nights here on my way back home next week, instead of one, so I could knock out... Continue Reading →
I’m almost afraid to start writing this for fear of jinxing myself, but my travels have gone ridiculously smoothly. I ended up having to check a bag, which I HATE but I was a few pounds over the carry-on limit for Copa, and quite frankly, the trade off of getting a little more baggage space... Continue Reading →
Our last full day in Costa Rica and thankfully the hives are fading. Yup, the hives. When I got out of the shower last night my chest and arms were covered in them. No good reason as to why. I had accidently left my trusty travel body wash behind at Tabacon and ended up buying... Continue Reading →
The 5am alarm went off way too early. I moaned and groaned in protest but by 5:30 had dragged myself out of bed to get ready for our fishing day. We were meeting our guide at 6:45am at Puerto Paquera, 45 minutes away. There should have been more enthusiasm for our fishing charter but upon... Continue Reading →
The room may be just ok but at least the bed is pretty comfortable and I slept like a a rock. The large oceanfront balcony was a perfect place to enjoy our first cups of morning coffee and tea before heading down to see what the breakfast was all about. It seems as though almost...
