Day 14: Costa Rica We left decently early in the morning thinking we might make it onto the 9:00am ferry. With some rushing and a carefully timed breakfast we walked into the ferry area at 8:45am and bought our return tickets at the window (again 100 cordobas). Our tardiness to the launch area meant thatContinue reading “Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Costa Rica (Part 4)”

Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Nicaragua (Part 3)
Day 9: Managua We decided that, in the end, it really worked out for the best that our flight got changed since it meant a good night’s sleep for us + an unexpected visit to Antigua. We enjoyed our stay at Hostel Guatefriends where it felt as though we got to have our first nightContinue reading “Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Nicaragua (Part 3)”
Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Guatemala (Part 2)
Day Four: Getting to Guatemala Our AirBnB host was kind enough to arrange for a taxi to pick us up at 9am and drop us off at the Belize/Guatemala border for a reasonable price of 20BZD ($10). We frantically threw our stuff into backpacks and were stumbling out the door when the taxi arrived. WithContinue reading “Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Guatemala (Part 2)”
Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Belize (Part 1)
Day One: Flying into Belize After an overnight flight to Miami and a two hour flight to Belize City, we were more than ready to get off of the airplane. As we headed through customs the agent told me that I had to have a street number for where I was going and couldn’t passContinue reading “Camino de Fuego y Los Maya: Belize (Part 1)”
Cruiser of the Caribbean Pt. 3
Day 9: San Juan We arrived back in San Juan bright and early. The last night on the boat had been the roughest night yet. The ship was flying through the water, and, as I tried the pack, we were heavily rocking back and forth. I started timing my walks across the room to whenContinue reading “Cruiser of the Caribbean Pt. 3”
Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 2
Day 4 We woke up again at 6:00, ready to have breakfast at 6:30, and be off the ship promptly at 8:00am. The ship had other ideas in store so we were off the ship promptly at about 8:15am [when it finished docking] and when we did get off it was raining. But it wasContinue reading “Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 2”
Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 1
Well friends, it has finally happened. I wrote a blog so dang long that WordPress’s editor couldn’t really load my photos, or upload new photos, or load that many words, and so I’ve been forced to split my blog into multiple posts in order to accommodate. So before you continue on this journey, just beContinue reading “Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 1”
Down Under, Around, and Back Again
After me being home for approximately three weeks this summer, Aaron suggested that I join him for the Australia leg of his Eastern Hemisphere trip that would include Shanghai, Australia, and Singapore, among other countries. Neither of us had been to Australia and it was the only continent neither of us had yet been too,Continue reading “Down Under, Around, and Back Again”
#thatpueblolife AKA The Austin Appreciation Post
A year and a half ago I texted Austin and I asked him if he wanted to go to Spain with me to teach English after we graduated. I didn’t have any concrete plans after graduation, he didn’t have any concrete plans after graduation. He’d been my travel buddy through all of Argentina, it seemedContinue reading “#thatpueblolife AKA The Austin Appreciation Post”
