May 22, 2018 Today we woke up and decided to rent bikes to explore Lumbarda, a quaint little village about 6 km from Korcula main town. So after coffee and a pastry, we set out to figure out where to rent bikes, where to go, and where to keep our bags. Thankfully these were allContinue reading “You’re an adult after all!”

It’s just a pint, you sissy
May 21, 2018 Today was a travel day, and as such, we needed to check out of our room by 10 am. Our ferry to Korcula wasn’t until 4:30, but our nice hosts agreed to let us store our bags on their terrace til we needed to catch the bus to the port. Breakfast wasContinue reading “It’s just a pint, you sissy”
Zivjeli!
May 20, 2018 For the first time in our European traveling history, we slept through the night on the first night. Aside from the cat fight outside and our room tv switching itself on and off over and over by itself, of course. I guess that Dr Lippard really knows her stuff. We woke upContinue reading “Zivjeli!”
If we don’t get this plane moving, I’m gonna put this gum in your hair
May 19, 2018 We had a fairly uneventful journey. We left the house right on time Friday afternoon, and departed DIA without issue, even though the news had been forecasting afternoon thunderstorms. The good folks at Lufthansa are always quite generous with the wine and this trip was no exception. We arrived in Frankfurt atContinue reading “If we don’t get this plane moving, I’m gonna put this gum in your hair”
Another country, another trip to the farmacia
We started Friday pretty much the same way as the prior two days. With rain. We sauntered down the boardwalk to get our coffee and breakfast. Thankfully Francine, our hostess, doesn’t ration it and we’ve been served copious amounts of French Press daily. The only glitch is that when certain monkeys are out, the accoutrements;Continue reading “Another country, another trip to the farmacia”
Silence
Today was more of the same. We woke up to no power. Since yesterday was so cloudy, the solar panels didn’t generate enough power to last all night. It was eerie waking up to such quiet. We could hear roosters from across the bay. I brushed the tamarin. He doesn’t have another of his kindContinue reading “Silence”
No necesito zapatos
We are now on the private island. No actual dry land… just a grouping of mangroves. Everything is built over the water and connected by boardwalks… so why wear shoes. We have no connectivity to other places or tours, so a whole lot of nothing happened today and it was needed. We woke up. NathanContinue reading “No necesito zapatos”
Gotta wear my man spanx to compete with Hector
Today was a transition day. At noon, we would be meeting a boat to take us and another couple to Urraca on Isla Popa. Yesterday I suggested we check in with the dive shop to see if we could fit a dive in before noon. We were in luck. Hector, our instructor said we couldContinue reading “Gotta wear my man spanx to compete with Hector”
Thief’s Beach
We started our day with breakfast and a loose itinerary. We wanted to find a way to get to either Playa Estrella or Hospital Point. Internet reviews of each were mixed, so we hopped into a boat taxi to Bocas. We figured the dive shop might help us with a plan. Our host Julien wasContinue reading “Thief’s Beach”
No no. I’m in Panama. I need the card to work.
Today we woke up to an adventure of the American kind. My credit card went shopping on Black Friday with someone other than me. Thankfully we brought Nathan’s cell phone with us and Sprint allows us to use it. So I called Chase, where they were able to cancel the card, but authorize its useContinue reading “No no. I’m in Panama. I need the card to work.”
