Costa Rica is well covered on this website, and for good reason – I spent time living there on two different occasions. Once, as an exchange student in the year 2000, and then again a few years later as business required me to go back and forth from Miami up […]
Trip Reports
Grand Cayman Vacation
We went to Grand Cayman for Michelle’s birthday, and boy, was she in for a surprise! Grand Cayman is a very special place to me as I had the luxury of first visiting in the 1990’s thanks to a friend’s father investing in some condos on 7 Mile Beach. I’ve […]
Bobbys Free Speakeasy in Barcelona
Bobby’s Free is a speakeasy that will fool you for a barber shop if you don’t know of it’s existence. The Bobby’s Free password changes frequently, and they urge you to go to their social media to find it, or you face the threat of not getting in. I was […]
Central Park Tower Resort
I have a new favorite hotel. It’s that simple. After years and years of searching and struggling, wasting time and my youthful years in flea-bag hotels, over-priced 3 and 4-star resorts that should have a star surgically removed without anesthesia, and even a certifiably haunted establishment (Hotel California), I’ve fallen […]
Batanes Seaside Resort
I was so eager for my trip to Batanes that I barely slept the night before. I got up when it was still dark out, called room service for two cups of coffee to be delivered, and hammered out some travel plans before a friend took me to the airport […]
See, Stay, and Play in the Florida Keys

The Bohol Beach Club Resort
Whoa. I found one of the nicest beaches in the world at one of the coolest resorts I’ve ever seen, and I wasn’t even looking for it. Recently, I traveled to the big island of Bohol in the Philippines, which is popular with tourists for their UNESCO World Heritage Site, […]
Salagdoong Beach Resort
Let’s face it, one of the main reasons we travel is to find the perfect beach. We want white sand like baby powder, flawless, translucent aqua-green waters, and nothing but swaying palm trees as a backdrop. More accurately, we want perfect beaches AND awesome photos of ourselves right on those […]
Aqua-Landia Resort
I just had the opportunity to get away for a weekend trip for my birthday. It wasn’t even a whole weekend but just a Saturday morning to Sunday midday. It also wasn’t too long of a trip, since I ventured out only about 30 minutes by motorcycle trike from my […]
