Geo: 42.6289, -78.0547Traumatized by the prior days events, we woke in our mansion cabin to the beautiful sounds of nature. I could tell this was going to be another good day.Today was comprised of activities appropriate for our cabin stay. It started off with our traditional breakfast of little smokies and eggs. Ooh so good. There was almost an air of excitement between Alex and I share as the little smoky aroma filled the cabin. Little smokies are almost always reserved for camping meals and just tasting them is like being at home in the woods. After breakfast we drove out to the visitor center where we switched keys and started out days adventure. This park is famous for its huge gorges and three magnificent waterfalls. some call this the grand canyon of the east. I ... read more

Geo: 42.6289, -78.0547Day 3 was a transition day for us where we planned one additional Niagara attraction then off on our journey. Boy did we save a good one for the end. Dodging fellow humans for two days in an attempt to experience the wonders of nature seems like a contradiction to me. So, I was surprised when we took a boat to the base of the falls I didn't mind the others on the boat vying for prime positioning. Alex and I found our spot early and enjoyed the magnificent mist soaking cruise. From the bottom you are able to forget all the hustle and bustle in the streets above. I was really able to appreciate the shear size of Niagara and what it must have been like back before the modernization if the area. ... read more

Geo: 43.1066, -79.0642VACATION!!!The day started with our early morning flight from St. Petersburg to Buffalo, NY.It is no secret that I don't particularly care for the getting there part of the trip. However, sometimes it's the little things in life that make you smile during an anxious time. A lonely grape, seemingly out of nowhere, rolled to a stop next to my seat as we cruised at over 400 miles an hour at 37,000 feet. I considered picking it up, but left it as a token distraction. She walked by and it was gone, leaving only the juicy remains of grape trail down the aisle. Curious, I cocked my head looking the length of the plane and low and behold, my little friend was attached to the bottom of the flight attendants shoe only to be ... read more

Geo: 25.729, -80.2374While we are excited to see the ones we love, we really do wish we could see you all down on the beach. I started the day with a nice view of the sunrise between the palm trees, followed by a nice cup of local java while Alex got those last precious minutes of sleep before I woke him up. We had a 6:30 am water taxi to catch, and while the flight is only 2 hours from Belize City, a full day of travel ahead. Today, if all go as planned, we will have completed many modes of transportation, including, Water Taxi, regular Taxi, airplane, bus, and SUV. Not to mention walking with our backpacks. So again we were on the move. Everything went smooth, without much to mention except Alex up to ... read more

Geo: 17.92, -87.96Relaxing? Again? I guess that is what you could say we did in San Pedro today. Similar to Caye Caulker, the locals all drive golf carts. The big difference is that due to the size of the island, there are golf carts everywhere. There were so many we witnessed golf cart traffic jams and we were nearly run down several times. What do you do when everyone else is driving golf carts? Of course, you get one of your own. Once again we went on a crazy golf cart adventure exploring the town. Past fruit stands and locals selling their crafts, the local airport runway in the middle of town, and the large primary school surrounded by a wall where we witnessed a chubby 10 year old making his break for it over the ... read more
