Hello from the Keys! Weeks 2 & 3 flew by. It’s been rainy & windy with just a few nice days mixed in. We had so much rain this past Friday we could have kayaked in our yard. Yesterday was the first sunny day in 5 days and I’m so glad it was a, Read More

We went on our 100th dive this morning! If you’re not a diver you’re probably thinking to yourself “what’s the big deal?”, if you are a diver I bet you’re wondering if we stuck with a longstanding tradition …read on for answers to both 🙂

Hello from the Keys! We’ll be down here for about 10 weeks & I thought it’d be fun to write some regular posts about our life here, both the good things and the bad things. When we travel I always write down my first impressions of a place and my parting thoughts at the, Read More

Whoa – that went by fast. I created this blog exactly one year ago today. If you told me then that I’d be writing the first post of 2016 from Key Largo outside on our deck I wouldn’t have believed you for one second. Last year it was freezing on New Year’s and we, Read More

Guess what? After two days, well over 1000 miles, 22 hours in the car, a million podcasts, taking turns playing DJ and a seemingly endless amount of time on 95 south – we’re where it’s warm! It’s not quite 8am and it’s already 80 degrees, this is how winter should be. Last year at, Read More

I’d like to introduce you to the sweet dogs of Mahahual! Some are strays who’ve carved out a section of beach to call home and some live at the various shops. They were all adorable & helped us get our dog fix – we miss our four legged kids when we travel! Read more, Read More

If you’re planning a trip, this post will help you with the practical stuff: where to stay, what to pack, where to shop around town & tips for, Read More

If there’s one thing we love, it’s good food. As an added bonus, everywhere we ate in Mahahual was either completely open air or screened in. Come to think of it, we weren’t in a climate controlled place the entire week which we loved! There’s nothing better than full days lived outside in the, Read More

So you want to go to Mahahual & you’re wondering what’s the best way to get there? There’s really no ‘best way’ – there are options to fit every timeline & budget. It’s a little harder to get to Mahahual than other destinations but chances are that’s why you picked it. If you wanted easy you, Read More

… mostly hate at this point. Flip-flops are probably my favorite footwear  but I’ll be damned if OluKai’s aren’t the biggest P.O.S. on the market for their $70 price tag. I’ve gone through 3 pairs in as many years and have had two blowouts outside the country. They’re extremely comfortable which is my only, Read More
