Hello, friends, and thank you for stopping by,
Kirstin and I have both manifested "jobs" to finance our extended stay in Utila. She works at the dive shop we've been diving at and I've fallen into a job as a daytime bartender at the Calibri Hill Hotel. Her job is much more stressful than mine is as she needs to deal with people all day, from all over the world with all kinds of different expectations and my first day was spent being surrounded by seven women in bikinis.. Basically I set up the bar, clean the pool, swim, beat the bugs back, and try out cocktails that are new to me. It's terribly slow most days but Kirstin works quite a bit more diligently for her compensation. We will be leaving here in about a week and a half for Belize and yet more fun.
My birthday is tommorrow and if you so choose you can donate to our travels in lew of some bnig fancy gift...LOL by referencing the "support my travels" link on the top of this page

Happy Birthday Shane!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dearest Shaaaannnnne, Happy Birthday to you!
We are glad that you and Kirsten (Hi Kirsten!) are posting a lot of pictures.
I hope you are over your food poisoning. It sounds like you and Kirsten are having a fun adventure. Of course what is a fun adventure without a little food poisoning:)
I'm really excited for the both of you that you found some land to buy. Are you still looking to buy more land or is the land you bought exactly what you were looking for?
Have a wonderful birthday!
Love, Ariel, Scott and Nick
Happy Birthday Shane!!!
Happy Birthday!
Just wanted to send a note letting you know that we're thinking of you (and Kristen too!). I can't think of a better way to spend your b-day (sun/fun/dive/drinks). Both your posts are great and congrats on the land. We hope to hear more about your adventures soon. Hilarity ensues...
Take care and much love from NYC
Bro, it's your birthday!!!
I guess this is a way to get out of hearing me sing you 'Happy Birthday'.
I finally read your blogs. Damn, it looks like your having a great time. I liked seeing the picts.
Look forward to seeing you in late Oct.
Love ya, Pill
PS: I sent you something earlier today from both Vishal & I. I don't see it. I hope it got to you. If not, opps.
Re: Happy Birthday Shane!
Thanks, friends,
I had a great time on my birthday, (pictures pending)now if I can get over the overly aggressive mosquitoes and rampant sand flies I might say that I would make it through my Central American adventure alive. Seriously though, in spots on the North side, it's picture postcard Caribbean Island for miles. We are leaving in about a week to Belize and will keep up with you from there. I hope and trust all is well for your family. Send to Nicholas from me and...
I gotta scoot! Thanks for the well wishes this birthday will be one that I remember!
Much love, Shane
