Traveling through Hawaii

It's been two weeks since we left Costa Rica for our new home in Malaysia, and even though we're not there yet (we'll be there in a few hours) we've been loving the journey. After leaving Costa Rica, we stopped to visit friends and family in Utah, Washington, and Hawaii. Here are some recent pictures and a summary of the past two weeks. First, before we left Costa Rica, we had a flock of parro... Read More

Without Internet in a Costa Rican Rainforest

Last week we went with some friends to the Osa Peninsula -- a very remote part of Costa Rica accessible only by boat where there is no Internet access, no cell phone service, and no electricity unless you have your own power source. And we had a fabulous time! Below, I'll be sharing some photos and videos h... Read More

Puerto Viejo, Arenal, and Tamarindo

Last week we enjoyed a fun visit from my wife's parents who came down for nine days. This is the third time we've had family visit since we've lived in Costa Rica, and while we really like having visitors, we've gotten kind of tired of showing the same sites over and over again, especially when they're expensive tourist spots. Yes, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Monteverde Cloud Forest, and the beach a... Read More

All Together Now

The past few weeks, we've been very busy looking for our next home, and I haven't had much time to write this blog post. I'll talk about the house hunting later, but for now, I'm going to reminisce about the fun times we had together with my mom and my sister's family when they were here for a visit a few weeks ago. Like me, my mom works on-line, so she was able to come down for a 3-week stay, ... Read More

Last Days in Cartagena

The past few days in Cartagena, Colombia have been a little slower-paced for us than the first few, now that we have the ... Read More

A week in Jaco

Earlier this month, we decided we wanted a little beach time. With all the rain and clouds up in the mountains of Grecia, where we live, it's been getting a little cold - yes, even sweater weather at times! We decided we wanted a little warmth and sun, and surf. Jaco is the closest beach to us, about an hour and 45 minutes away, and we chose to spend a week there. Jaco has a bad reputation of b...

Celebrating 8 Years of Marriage

This month Jennifer and I spent three days away from the kids celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary. We went to the northwestern part of Costa Rica where we'd never been before, near the Guanacaste beaches in the Nicoya peninsula. We wanted to do some things that would have been a little harder to do with kids. Things like... Surfing! Neither of us had ever been surfing before, but we... Read More

Zip-line, Beach, and Monkeys

We've packed a lot of fun into the past couple days, and have even more planned for this week. We're taking advantage of our time at the beach, as well as having a car - and we're loving it! Zip-Line Canopy Tour ... Read More

From Volcanoes to Beaches

Talk about views! We've seen the most breathtaking sites in the past few days. We decided to rent a car for a week and explore the country a little more while waiting for our new house to be ready. We were thinking of driving all the way from Grecia to Dominical in one day - about a 4-5 hour drive. However, because there are no street signs, we took a few wrong turns and we ended up only making... Read More

Flying to Bocas

I'm now writing from our very relaxing house on Bastimentos island in Bocas del Toro. I have a few days to catch up on, so let me just say we went to dinner at Cafe Essencia in Volcan on Saturday, and it was not good! (The first "bad" food we've had in Panama). The bread was very stale, and fell apart on our sandwiches and hamburgers. However, the raspberry shake was good. So after that, we had a ... Read More
