    Unfortunately it's been a couple of weeks since my last post because there wasn't a whole lot of stuff going on.  I believe I last left off that we were going to go to Lake Assal and Green Tire beach on 16 June, but that didn't happen.  We were unable…

    So here I am in Djibouti, Africa.  I probably should have started these posts 3 weeks ago when I first got here while things were still fresh in my mind, but I think it was all a little overwhelming.  Well now that I've been here for a few weeks, I…

    Ok, so I thought the "Final Days in Costa Rica" was going to be my last post, but I didn't have a chance to get it posted before the adventure continued.  After we got on the plane in Costa Rica we sat for about 3 hours as we waited for…

    Well not much to write about on Thursday.  Our last full day was spent relaxing by the beach and pool.  No major adventures to be had . . .although I tried to attempt a geocaching adventure.  The compass said it was only .86 miles away, but as I headed the…

    This morning's adventure allowed us to sleep in a little bit as we weren't meeting until 9:15a.m.  This time it was only a short drive to our excursion location.  Once we got our lesson on how to operate our ATV we were on our way.  I gladly volunteered to go…

    What an adventure we had today!!!  This morning we headed out around 7:30a.m. for a horseback ride, zip lining, and volcanic mud bath tour.  It was about another hour drive to our destination.  First up, a horseback ride up the mountain to get to the zip lines.  I think this…

    Our day started early with a 6:00a.m. show time at the beach to be picked up for our fishing trip.  It was cool and calm on the waters.  The small boat held Tom Sr, Pete's Dad Terry, Tom and I, and our two fishing guides.  The guides didn't speak a…

    We had quite the adventure today. I started my morning by going for a run . . . and even though it was only 1 mile, boy can I feel it in my legs. It is super hilly here!! After breakfast we began the hunt for the tour guide we…

    Today was our last full day in Rome and the last day of the European vacation. What to do, what to do. We decided that we didn't want to rush around everywhere so we would just take our time and see what we could see. We started by heading up…

    Yesterday I felt a little underwhelmed by the Colosseum. Today I was impressed with St. Peter's Basilica. We began the day with another free walking tour that began at the McDonald's by the Spanish Steps. At least this time we knew exactly where we were going. :) This tour took…

    Today we spent roaming Rome. We started out the day by roaming past the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Navona Square on our way to the Colosseum. At the Colosseum we used our Roma Pass and skipped right to the front of the line and got right in. Here we…
