Those Caribbean shores.

We took a walk on the Northeastern part of Isla Colon, the island that Bocas Del Toro town is on. It was a really nice walk, and quite a few of the animals that were on a previous post were on this walk, but this one is more just about how beautiful these remote Caribbean […]

Playa Morrillo To Bocas Del Toro

In keeping with my squirrel-on-crack timelines for things, I should probably go back a bit in our Panama adventures… Walking out to surf Playa Morillo with Mathias, one of the owners of Casa Morillo. It is a clean, comfortable spot on Playa Morillo, with a great bar and nice clean rooms. It has been on […]

Panama! And Some critters.

Yep. We ended up stopping in Panama on our way to Ecuador. We decided to stay a month and see the rest of the spots we didn’t see back in 2016. And we stopped to see my sister Dolly and her guy Mark. It was a really great visit! They were kind enough to let […]

Flight

This is a story I started writing a while back, and haven’t worked on in over a year. I spend so much time trying to write and edit my stories, and sometimes they take on this monstrous life of their own and haunt my sleep. I almost never share my work, but this one seemed […]

See ya Kwajalein… It’s been interesting.

We have been here a year now. It has been a year of mixed emotions. I know I have not posted much in here about the island, but the times I have posted have been about how much fun we have been having. But, like everything else in life, it hasn’t always been tropical beaches, […]

Psst… Hey buddy. Need a used car?

Part four (or is it part five? I can’t remember any longer) of our trip to Pohnpei last July (yep. Still haven’t gotten to the surf trip in October) finds us driving around the island in our rental car. Strangely, all the cars here are from Asian countries so they are right-hand drive cars, but […]

Some flowers in the sun, after a rain

Okay, we still haven’t made it to posting about our surf trip to Pohnpei in October. This will be the fourth installment of our week-long trip to Pohnpei back in July. Yeah, I know. I have been terrible about keeping up, but there was a lot of pretty cool stuff in Pohnpei. We took a […]

Nerds in front of waterfalls.

Number three in the continuing Pohnpei saga is about a couple of nerds who visit waterfalls (shoot, we still aren’t caught up to our most recent surf trip). One nerd does it with some kind of weird waterfall FOMO (fear of missing out) bordering on a squirrel-on-crack-obsessiveness. The other nerd? Well, that one tags along […]

A Pig

A perfectly proportioned, partially perturbed Pohnpeian pig, perambulating ponderously, possibly perusing a pasture for palatable protein. Probably particularly prefers the prenom Petunia. Sorry about that one guys! Anyway, it’s a pig.

A Walk Around Nan Madol

In the spirit of keeping up with our travels in a timely manner, I mentioned in the last post that we were on Pohnpei for some surfing. This is not that post. Instead, it is a post about a trip we took there in July, to hike, visit a million waterfalls, and visit the ruins […]
