Galapagos Tortoise, The Gentle Giant
Seeing the Galapagos tortoise is one of the highlights of visiting the islands off the coast of Ecuador. The Galapagos Islands were even named after their massive shells. Sailors talked of these islands filled with giant turtles whose shells resembled a saddle – “galapago” in Spanish.
Jamaica: Beyond the Beach
While it’s amazing to have a gorgeous suite to lay our heads, we normally spend our days exploring our destination to the fullest, and luckily our hosts understood that about us and made sure that we sampled everything!
Sea Kayaking and Island Camping with John Gray’s Sea Canoe
We had always wanted to camp on a private island in Thailand. With John Gray Sea Canoe, we had that exact chance. After kayaking through tidal caves, we were let off in the dark of night to be paddled to our private beach where we would spend the night.
Firespinning in Thailand
I had first witnessed fire spinning during our first trip to Thailand in 2000. I had never seen anything like it before and over the years I have watched it grow. For years I thought that it originated in Thailand, but in actual fact, it is from New Zealand. Known as Poi, it comes from the Maori People. It is a rhythmic dance done with weighted balls that are attached to the end of cord and spun around the body.
