Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
Since we can’t travel right now (June 2020), I’ve been creating blog posts for some of our trips prior to the creation of this blog. One of our absolute favorite trips was our African safari and dive trip in Tanzania in 2018. Here’s Part 1 of this fabulous experience! February …
We can’t travel right now, so I thought I’d go back and fill in some of the trips we took before we started our travel blog. If you’re looking for some pictures of nature to take you away from your current reality or dreaming about the chance to travel again, …
Nothing says “I love you” like a whale watching trip on Valentine’s Day! Hank surprised me with two tickets to take a boat out of Ventura Harbor with Island Packers, the official vendor of Channel Islands National Park in Southern California. Their boats take you to the Channel Islands (Anacapa, …

It was so lovely to arrive back on Kauai (Hawaii) after not having been for five years. And it was even better that we were here with eight other dive buddies, enjoying a few days in Princeville before heading to our dive adventure in Palau (next post). The adventures began …

It’s always an adventure, but this year was especially so for two reasons—the visible wildlife and the out-of-character weather.
