Since we left Granada a day early, we arrived at Morgan's Rock near San Juan del Sur. This is considered the best hotel in all of Nicaragua. It may not be the most luxurious accomodations, but it may have one of the best locations in all of the world. The resort is set within a jungle that is a 3 minute walk to a private beach. We started out ou...

So we lefr paradise as we knew it in El Salvador to embark on a new adventure in Nicaragua. We left with the intentions of returning to El Salvador for Christmas and New Years, but the fabulous beaches, great surf, and the beautiful people we met along the way in Nicaragua has kept us here over the holidays. We went to San Salvador for a night o...

Hoi hoi! Vandaag hebben we het meer toeristische Costa Rica achter ons gelaten.

Still hot under the collar Michael woke up on Friday June 15, 2007 ready and eager to hit the Police Station in order to plead his case on the fraudulent ticket he had received.

Friday December 23rd, 2005 We left Tamarindo yesterday morning on a bus at 5:45 am bound for Liberia. It was a very long 2 hours let me tell you. I struggled to not be sick. The bus travelled to all the little towns along the way with unpaved roads that had been washed out by recent storms so if you could imagine a big greyhound style "floaty" b...

Basically, it{s an outlet for volu...
