Live Like A Local
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have a new favorite hotel. It’s that simple.

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 […]
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 […]
