T W O years ago to the date, we moved onto our floating home in Ft. Lauderdale, FL to pursue a dream of sailing through the Bahamas and Caribbean. Well folks, we are doing it!!! 🙂 Our travels in 2019 have brought gratitude for some of the smallest things, and a realization of some huge wonders [
Our passage over to Sint Eustatius, locally known as Statia (Stay-sha), was anything but as predicted.

This is place is just magical! >>See video HERE << We’d been wanting to visit El Yunque National Forest since we arrived in Puerto Rico. It’s one of the most beautiful and peaceful places/parks I’ve ever been to, so lush and serene. El Yunque is the only tropical rain forest in the
We spent a full day in Old San Juan before jumping on our 3:30AM flight to Atlanta, GA…yup, you read that correct, 3:30AM. The main attraction here are the forts (with breathtaking views of the Atlantic) but Old San Juan is a place best explored by foot so wandering the streets was the highlig
