Two months have flown by! We’ve been super busy settling into our new life here so just a quick recap for now of our first two months on the island. I’ll write detailed posts on life here soon for anyone needing some info or maybe a little nudge to change your life and try, Read More
Unfortunately, I had to visit the emergency room here on Bonaire 2 weeks ago. It was a normal morning … I had just made breakfast, handed J his plate and was walking to my spot on the couch when I snagged my toe on the chaise lounge part of the couch. It hurt. We’ve, Read More
We’re not in the Keys anymore but that doesn’t mean I don’t miss my paddle loop! I wrote this while we were still there but clearly didn’t get around to posting it. The Keys are an aerial photographer’s dream come true! Endless islands surrounded by turquoise water provide an idyllic backdrop for any drone, Read More
The Keys were small …. Bonaire is smaller. I haven’t even started my job yet and I’m already seeing people I know around town. We’ve been in our house just over a week and are pretty well settled at this point. We still have some logistics to take care of but we’re a bit, Read More
Week 1 has been all about getting our new place set up. We only had our temporary apartment for four nights so we’ve been busting our butts getting the new place livable. Shout out to Diver’s Paradise Apartments for being so accommodating! You were a godsend the first few days! I highly recommend staying, Read More
I’m not gonna lie, yesterday was a long and stressful day! It’s really hard to wrangle two dogs and 10 bags between two people. That math just doesn’t work. Thankfully we ran into helpful people every step of the way. It was a long day but we’re all here and all of our stuff, Read More
It’s 4:00pm on a Thursday. Everything we own is jammed into about 8 suitcases, our dogs are at doggy daycare tiring themselves out (hopefully), I’m unemployed for the first time since I was 16, and I’m having a day beer which I deserve after cleaning the heck out of our rental for our walkthrough.
This is our last weekend living in the Keys! I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already! We should be packing, and we are, but we’re also soaking up every last minute of our time on these quirky little islands by visiting everything & everyone we love here! So today, on my last Sunday, Read More
As we prepare to say ‘see ya later’ to the Keys, I’ve been reflecting on our time here. I have to be honest, it was hard moving here. I glossed over it on the blog, barely mentioning my homesickness but it was HARD for so many reasons. Moving to a new place is always, Read More
I’ve never found a flatworm of any kind diving in Bonaire before this trip. I was looking at a juvi spotted drum (love them!) and right next to it was the flatworm! So excited! We only had a GoPro with us but we still managed to get some decent footage of it. (video and, Read More
