Jambo (Hello) from Zanzibar
Well… let’s just say our arrival came with a bang—and not the celebratory kind. We picked up our rental car at the airport feeling bold and seasoned. I mean, I’ve driven on islands before, and on the left side of the road, so how bad could it be?

North Sulawesi, Indonesia – Last Update
Imagine being 25 feet below sea level and floating a foot above the sandy ocean bottom … you’ve got your poker (18” aluminum stick) planted in the sand a foot away from the corral to steady yourself in the surge.

Hanoi… A people’s city! Everyone out on the streets, laughing, playing, visiting… It’s a friendly environment for a big city.
Halong Bay Vietnam
About 4 hours west of Hanoi, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to see first hand the view most people see on advertisements and brochures and associate with Vietnam.
Iguacu Falls, Brazil
Today we arrived at a destination I added to my bucket list 20 years ago… Iguacu National Park….considered one of the natural wonders of the world because of its breathtaking waterfalls.
Micronesia
Yap is an island in Micronesia known for Bridgestone money and topless women.
