Abizness Digital - Angie Joyce

Allow me to make an introduction please...

In brief: I'm a native Washingtonian that has lived in and traveled throughout the United States; as well as various destinations in North America, Australia, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. Two of my greatest passions are PHOTOGRAPHY & TRAVELING! ("Can I get an Amen, choir?")

Started Photography in a traditional fashion with a 35 mm camera & dark room training while in JR High. Over the years, my interest in technology drew me to the artistry of digital, while still being able to apply traditional methods of ISO settings & F-stops.

In between my trips, feel free to check out my other travel & local-to-Pacific Northwest images: www.AbiznessDigitalImages.com

Happy Traveling! ~A. Joyce

Western Caribbean Cruise - Honduras Central America Caribbean » Honduras » Roatan » West Bay

Roatan Island

Roatan Island, Honduras Our day started out with a quick breakfast & then up to the top deck to take pictures of our arrival to Honduras. Today the plan was to shop for a bit, come back to shop, then leave on our excursion -- Glass Bottom Kayaking & snorkeling! Am told that Roatan Island is one of the 'richest' in Honduras. By the first block, one could see that it was still very 3rd world. Lots of little wood shacks with no fans or air conditioners, pot holes in the paved roadways, tons of vendors & little bars on the [View Full Entry]

Western Caribbean Cruise - Grand Cayman Central America Caribbean » Cayman Islands » Grand Cayman

Stormy seas@@

Sailing Day Spent our first day on board sailing our way to our first destination. As predicted, there were several storms off the bough, but the captain managed to skirt them all! Spent all day in the sun (eek!), and spent the evening at the Captains Welcome Aboard Cocktail party -- where we met Alex. After our first fancy dinner, we met back up with Alex & went dancing at Club Hot! (Mostly older people swinging to the the 50's-60's-70's. It was a blast! Grand Cayman First port of call!

Western Caribbean Cruise - Miami Central America Caribbean » Cayman Islands » Grand Cayman

View form Hotel

Wahoo, a summer cruise thru the Western Caribbean! There's only one catch... it's Hurricane season! (BUt that's when you get the cheap deals...) Michelle, Nicole, & I were in for an adventure. MIAMI - Day 1: Arrived late afternoon on Saturday the 30th. Surprise, surprise... Hurricane Gustov had brought with it lots of rain & overcast skies. After checking into the Airport Hilton (wish we would have been able to stay at the Marriot), took a cab to an established Cuban restaurant within a 15 minute ride. The place was jammed packed. We tried a couple local dishes (plantains & p [View Full Entry]

Alaska Adventure - Homer & back to Anchorage North America » United States » Alaska » Alaskan Highway

Mariner Monument & roadway @ end of Spit

An hour or so outside of Nikiski is Homer. We made reservations to stay at an RV park on the Homer Spit that evening. Was good to take a nice long shower and hang out around town. Shops are open for the summer season (end of May to end of August) along the boardwalks. You can find everything from carvings in ivory, antler, or wood to photography; even book a fishing trip or two! SPeaking of which... There was a Fishing Derby that goes on all summer long for Salmon & Halibut. We saw some HUGE fish! After 2 nights, it [View Full Entry]

Alaska Adventure - Ididaride & Bear Viewing! North America » United States » Alaska » Seward

Mitch Seavey's place

Seward - Ididaride! To support sled dog training all year 'round, Mitch Seavey has set up a camp that offers the public access to eductaion about the Iditarod & interact with his dogs. There's a 15 minute info talk in the beginning, then the tour is broken up into smaller (aprox. 8 - 9 persons) groups that take a ride on the metal dog sleds -- the sleds weigh aprox. 1 thousand pounds fully loaded. They run the dogs around a short (3 - 5 miles??) track pulling the sled behind them, taking quite a few breaks since it's so muc [View Full Entry]

Alaska Adventure - Anchorage to Portage North America » United States » Alaska » Portage

Heading out!
Leaving Anchorage in the RV

Spent first half of day in Anchorage - readying for the trip, etc. We finally head out around 3pm to Portage area where we spent our first night. There was no need to hurry, so we doodled around stopping near Potter's March, Bird's Point, Beluga Point, and eventually made our way into the camp-ground for the evening. Since the weather had been co-operatively sunny for most of the day, Kathy & I took a long leisurely walk around the nearby trails, while Irene & Nicole rode the bikes around. The salmon hadn't started running yet, so the stream was void of [View Full Entry]

Alaska Adventure - all day in Juneau North America » United States » Alaska » Juneau

Coffee at airport

Spent the day in Alaska's state capital - Juneau. The weather hung in around 56 degrees & the rain was coming down fairly consistently in the morning. From the airport, we rented a car ($89 per day + tax -- ouch!) to help get around quickly & efficiently. Our first stop was Medenhall Glacier - as it was nearest the airport. After a quick stop at the Ranger's Station and walking int he rain, we opted for lunch. Downtown area was very small & quaint... very picturesque! Took in a great Fish-n-Chip lunch down at the Wharf Mall. We witnessed the [View Full Entry]

Chicago! (no more business!) North America » United States » Illinois » Chicago

Checking the map

By Thursday, the 24th, there was no more business to be had! Nicole, Kassie & I spent most of the day walking around southend districts of Chicago -- near Mag Mile, Wacker street, Milemim Park, Navy Pier, etc. We started off the day with an Architeture tour on the river. Very fascinating. It was 90 minutes of history lesson and architectural visuals! Down by Wacker, there was a camera crew set up filming a Candian Pilot called "Tower". We didn't really recognize any of the stars, but did have a lengthy chat with a 'local' about the neighborhoods, movie stars, and [View Full Entry]
