The Views of Victoria Falls Hotel

The stop, a good distance from Windhoek, the capital city, and the coastal destinations of Swakopmund or the red […]

During my time in Cape Town, I connected with Acacia Africa. The overland tour company provided me a half day tour of the city highlighted by a visit to the District 6 museum.

Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas

by on March 14, 2011 in Destination, Events, Mexico Travel

Many still consider travel to Mexico too adventurous.  Or I guess to call a spade a spade, they consider it dangerous. I know I meet them. So when I decided to rent a car and take a solo road trip inside Mexico people thought I was inviting danger. I was beyond “staying adventurous;” I was […]

An Afternoon at Nest Key

An Afternoon at Nest Key

by on February 10, 2011 in Beach, Destination, National Park Travel
