Coco Bay Beach Club

Yesterday I was chatting with some friends who asked me how we were doing. My answer to them ended up being a perfect jumping off point for a blog post. On balance, we are great! This is certainly not to say that everything is perfect and we don’t have any problems—we do! It’s really, really …

Is a picture really worth 1,000 words?

September 10, 2019August 25, 2022 by allison

Ed: published June 2021, but drafted September 2019 Last week Clara had her first day of Kindergarten Around The World. If a picture is really worth 1,000 words this image I shared on Facebook would say “look at how interesting and adventurous my family is, dot dot dot”. But let’s be real for a second …

Tap tap tap… is this thing on? Oh, hey there, it’s been a minute! Or, more accurately, 5,401,440 minutes. And what a 5.4 million minutes they’ve been. In the last 10.5 years we: moved to and worked in Toronto, got married, (I) started a photography business and another blog, left our jobs in Toronto, spent …

Is this really the end?

May 30, 2009June 14, 2021 by jonathan

Yes‚ we’re home. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was around the world in 365 days. We wandered around the desert metropolis of Dubai and played in what could be the world’s best water park; we saw the ancient ruins of Petra, spent a night in the desert, rode camels, shared a sheesha with a rescue …

Space, the final frontier

May 27, 2009June 14, 2021 by jonathan

We spent the last week of our trip in sweet, sweet civilization with my brother and his family at their home in Orlando, Florida, USA. And yes, one of the first things I did was have a Starbucks coffee. I know, I’ve sold out to our North American culture… our delicious, coffee-driven culture, but if …

Would you like a mugging with that?

May 23, 2009June 11, 2021 by jonathan

Last time we left you we had just crossed the border into Brazil at Foz do Iguaçu to take in a second helping of the gorgeous Iguazu Falls. That night, we hopped on an overnight bus that would take us to the massive city of Sao Paulo—a semi-cama bus (think airplane-style reclining seats), with no …
