… in Nicaragua 🇳🇮
I thought I would slide in a few final posts on Europe before Allison and I got too carried away with Africa and the inevitable Lion King references. Yes, these posts are a tad late, but let them serve as memories of the lazy days of a summer gone past. Our first stop in the …
When the Lonely Planet lists ‘cool flag’ as a highlight for a country, you know you’re in for an adventure. As soon as we crossed the nautical border, gone were the English speakers, transportation and hotel options presented to you on a silver platter, and masses of tourists; in their places, our broken Albanian, unmarked …
With our scrapes and bruises we boarded an overnight ferry, Santorini to Athens. While an overnight cruise on the Mediterranean may sound romantic, I can assure you that sleeping on the floor in between a row of airplane-like seats is far from idyllic. Waking up at 5:30am to cigarette smoke and crying babies, we began …
Don’t worry, we haven’t succumb to infected scooter injuries. Internet has been hit or miss throughout Albania and Montenegro, however we’re back online in Croatia. We’ll have some awesome new blog posts soon. In the meantime, please enjoy the fresh photos in the Flickr stream on your right! Have you requested your hand-made postcard yet?
If you’re eager to use your mailbox for something other than flyers, bills, and your returned ‘Get Well Soon’ cards addressed to Britney, we’d love to send you a postcard. No guarantee on the date of delivery or the country of origin; we’ll send it when we find the one with your name on it. …
When we last left you, we were in Kas enjoying the warm Turkish sun with Carmen and Geoff (two of Allison’s friends). As a group of four we decided to rent a car to visit the near-by, and very highly recommended, Patara beach and Saklikent gorge. After running through the rental formalities, I was selected …
Well, we made it to Turkey. While we haven’t been here long enough to form any long-winded posts, I will say this: why does Turkey have a special hate-on for Canada? While in line at the airport to purchase visas, we learned that Canada is in a special ‘F you’ class all on its own …
Allison and I wrapped up our ten days in the hot, friendly country of Jordan. While I won’t delve into each stop in detail (however detail is available for those who are curious), I’ll touch on a few unique highlights. One of the first things almost anyone will notice about Jordan is just how friendly …
I admit, I have been rather absent from this blog. My absence can be easily explained, however: I have been hard at work on my travel beard. No longer bound by the hygienic restrictions of work, or the disapproving glances of Vancouverites when one begins a beard quest such as this, my face would become …
We leave today. Syracuse to Dubai.
