I’m back with a bit more info for you on Utila. A question that comes up with every trip is what to pack so I’ll break it down for you in this post. Utila is an extremely casual island & you need to bring way less than you think!
We’re back from Utila and we LOVED it! Utila isn’t for everyone, no where is, but on Utila there aren’t any other options, it is what it is and we loved it. It’s rustic and simple. There are no big resorts, restaurants are open-air & few places have AC or take credit cards. There, Read More
Hey Everyone! We’re all packed and ready to go on the first flight out of here tomorrow morning. We’ve got some shows downloaded on our iPad for the plane (anyone watching HBO’s Silicon Valley?) and we’ll get a few movies to go along with them tonight. I also bought the latest Jonathon Tropper book,, Read More
Hi All! We’ve decided this is the year to “just say yes”! What does that mean? Basically, we’ll say “yes” to everything that comes our way that even remotely interests us. Let’s face it, once we move where it’s warm, the opportunity to see the bands we love, hike in the mountains & eat, Read More
Yep, you guessed it, our next adventure is to Utila & it’s less than a month away! Utila is the smallest of the Honduran Bay Islands, also the flattest & the closest to the mainland. It’s also widely known as one the cheapest if not the cheapest place in the world for scuba certifications., Read More

At long last, spring has FINALLY arrived in the mid-Atlantic! It’s so nice to look at the 10-day forecast and not see a day under 60 degrees on it. What a long, cold, windy, rainy, grey winter we had. In the 10 years we’ve been here, this might have been the worst winter… or, Read More
Our recent trip to Saba was absolutely perfect and Juliana’s Hotel had a big part in that! Juliana’s was a great fit for us and was exactly what we were looking for. The grounds are dense with hibiscus and other tropical plants, all frequented by hummingbirds so their logo is fitting.
Our posts about diving in Saba wouldn’t complete without a big shout out to Sea Saba – Advanced Dive Center! A terrific experience all around.
The diving was extraordinary! We’d been putting off going to Saba until we had our AOW certification and some experience under our belts and I’m definitely glad we did. We were able to dive all of the sites with complete confidence and focus on the unique underwater topography that makes Saba so special. When, Read More
