We woke up several times in the night because 27 C was too hot and 26 C was too cold. These are first-world problems for sure. Luckily for us, our host keeps light blankets in the room and we happily donned them at who knows what hour. There’s no clock in our room and thatContinue reading “Personal Growth is So Overrated”

Don’t Die in Your Sleep Tonight, Cuz I’d Get Arrested
We woke up today with the intention of making breakfast at our apartment, getting ready, and heading to the beach for a half-day before our 2:30 dive date. Nathan was putzing around our little kitchen, making breakfast and coffee, and I was slyly messaging Airbnb support. Turns out, there’s only so much personal growth thatContinue reading “Don’t Die in Your Sleep Tonight, Cuz I’d Get Arrested”
I Miss Fibs!
That rascal Fibs, I miss him so much. He has been at a board and train since November 8, learning himself some manners. There are beach dogs galore here, like Dominican Republic, and it’s so hard not to pet them! Stupid Kaiser! This guy visited while we were under our tent at the beach, butContinue reading “I Miss Fibs!”
I Have Everything You Need For The Beach
Last night, we arrived on Bequia around 5:30. Our little plane ride from Barbados dropped people off at Union Island, then Canouan, then finally us at Bequia. The plane was a 20 seater, with 2 pilots! Maybe that’s why the ticket was so dang expensive. We got off the plane, cleared immigration, then customs. TheContinue reading “I Have Everything You Need For The Beach”
I Don’t Have a Plane For You Yet…
So, we’ve had a fairly uneventful journey up until now. Well, that’s not entirely true. On Monday, there was a little dust up when Nathan’s boss discovered that we would be gone all next week. Apparently, whatever the normal procedure for getting vacation time onto his calendar hadn’t been followed. Whoops! I told Nathan I’dContinue reading “I Don’t Have a Plane For You Yet…”
Snowy Surprise
We were planning on hiking Saturday, since it was to be the last nice day before a four day stretch with snow and highs in the 20’s. This was a huge compromise since Longmont’s Halloween parade was Saturday morning as well. Hiking won, and this was the snowy wonderland that greeted us. Thankfully, we usuallyContinue reading “Snowy Surprise”
Our Story
How we arrived on this crazy adventure This is us: Two Dinks with a Dog. Yes, I realize the Two Dinks part is repetitive, but Dinks with a Dog didn’t have the right amount of flair and Two Dinks with a Dog was quite literally THE ONLY name we could agree on. Such is marriedContinue reading “Our Story”
Eddie was Solid Gold!
Today we woke up in Bonaire, said goodbye to Bob from the dive shop, and hopped aboard our tiny, again sold-out flight to Curacao. We had a 9th passenger today, and he got to sit next to the pilot in the copilot’s seat. Just don’t touch anything dude. From Curacao, we boarded a jet forContinue reading “Eddie was Solid Gold!”
It’s Karen from the Caribbean!
Today we got up early, ate breakfast in the dark on our terrace, and drove our scooter south to the Mangrove Kayak Center. The whole plan was a little dicey because we have never driven a scooter before, in traffic, fully loaded with backpacks, shade tents, and messenger bags, or on muddy dirt roads, whichContinue reading “It’s Karen from the Caribbean!”
Lionfish Ceviche!
We woke up with the sunrise and had a casual breakfast on our terrace. Eggs, cinnamon raisin toast, and coffee. Our terrace is nice and private since it is on the third floor. It also has a good view and we were able to see that a second cruise ship came in during the 6Continue reading “Lionfish Ceviche!”
